696 S Madison Avenue

Centrally located in one of Pasadena's most sought-after communities, this stately Madison Heights Craftsman, welcomes graciously with its soaring sugar maple tree and brick and river rock porch. Originally built in 1908, this home remains a treasure with its crown and base molding, hardwood flooring, leaded windows, and abundance of cozy nooks and corners. The formal living room breezes easily into the den with access to the side patio. The dining room eases into the bright and light-filled kitchen which benefits from the fully glass enclosed mudroom/laundry room adjacent. The second floor boasts three bedrooms including the en-suite primary bedroom. The two other bedrooms share a bath. All three bedrooms have unique built-ins, hardwood floors, and plenty of character. Finishing off the second level is the sunroom that looks out to the backyard, ideal for a home office or a sitting room. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, with a covered patio space, a brick hardscape area, and a flat grassy yard for play. If that isn't enough, the large 12,593 sq ft lot also houses a separate home at the back of the property. With plenty of greenery for privacy, the 585 SF guest house/ADU/art studio is brimming with possibilities from additional income to a simple getaway space. Don't miss this opportunity in the heart of Pasadena close to the Playhouse district, South Lake, Caltech, The Huntington Gardens, and tons of commuting options.
