Historic Arts & Crafts Beauty on the Market in Pasadena’s Madison Heights
If you ever sat in the Chinese or Egyptian Theatre and thought, gee, this level of craftsmanship sure would be great in a residential property, then this Pasadena beauty has you covered. Built in 1909 by the aforementioned Milwaukee Building Company and designed by Millionaire’s Row fave William F. Thompson, the 4,175 square-foot house sits on .35 acres, including a pool and drought-tolerant gardens.
Somewhat surprisingly, the only recent renovations to the house appear to be the addition of solar panels, as well as a kitchen remodel that swapped in stainless steel appliances, but largely maintained the look of traditional cabinetry.
Per the listing, the house was “designed to enjoy Pasadena’s unmatched climate & beauty, integrating interior & exterior spaces.” In keeping with that and with the Arts & Crafts style, the six-bedroom house has more than a few porches -- including a classic wide front porch, a second story porch, a sleeping porch, and balcony.
Designated by the City of Pasadena as an Historic Landmark in 2006, the list price is $2.75 million.
