There is no mistaking the romantic attraction of a classic California Craftsman. This home has the warmth and beauty of a traditional Craftsman, and you will have the peace of mind knowing that it has been upgraded with all of today's modern conveniences. Built in 1925 and purchased by the current owners in 1983, the home has been carefully and thoughtfully improved upon. After building a new foundation and bolting the home, shear-paneled walls were added throughout for seismic stability - earthquakes need not apply! Consistent attention to detail: Arroyo Craftsman lighting fixtures, custom stair railing with fir and walnut newel posts, and custom redwood front and rear porches. You will enjoy the convenience of a modern kitchen: Fisher Paykel refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, Rohl Allia fireclay sink, HD TV, and an oak-topped breakfast bar - all adjacent to an open family room that leads to the secluded indoor-outdoor space! With one bedroom and bath downstairs, and three bedrooms and a second bath plus laundry upstairs, this is your chance to live the California dream in desirable South Pasadena!
