A magical Madison Heights Craftsman blends timeless architectural charm with modern luxury, nestled on a quiet side street in one of Pasadena’s most coveted neighborhoods. Enter via a pergola and grand door into a formal entry where rich Craftsman character immediately shines. Wide framed openings connect the living room, dining room, and sitting/media room, offering graceful flow while preserving distinct spaces for entertaining and daily living. The living room features a Batchelder-style tile fireplace with rich wood mantle, while the sitting/media room opens through double doors to a living room-sized deck. A highlight is the massive, custom-designed eat-in kitchen, with granite counters, marble backsplash, custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, a Viking range with grill, wine cooler, TV, and skylight. A large eating counter separates the cooking area from a breakfast area, with easy access to the backyard and a custom laundry closet. The main floor also offers a large bedroom with built-in cabinetry and a full guest bath. A wide wood staircase leads up to two architecturally detailed bedrooms and a spa-like period-style bath with a rain shower and separate toilet room. The main bedroom spans nearly the full width of the home, and has a dressing-room-sized closet and 18-foot sunroom, ideal as a work-from-home space. The backyard is enchanting, with a sprawling deck, built-in benches, overhead trellis, custom lighting, and wide steps leading to open grassy areas and curated gardens of fruit trees and show-worthy roses - a true outdoor sanctuary. Modern upgrades include forced air heat, dual-zone central air, a retrofitted foundation, large basement, and detached 2-car garage. Set near the renowned Langham Huntington Hotel, Lake Ave District, Caltech, Arroyo Parkway shops (with Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods), and the vibrancy of Old Town Pasadena, this rare Madison Heights gem offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to live Pasadena’s legendary lifestyle.
