OPEN HOUSE: Saturday April 25 and Sunday April 26 from 1-5 pm both days. I currently have the privilege of representing the seller for 1409 Laurel Street in South Pasadena. This is a beautiful and rare traditional Craftsman home with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The living space measures 2,107 square feet and the property boasts an enormous flat, level and clear grassy lot of 8,195 square feet. A major feature of this home is the ideal location situated just 0.3 miles from South Pasadena High School and 0.3 miles from South Pasadena Middle School.
From the magnificent solid mahogany front door to the original teak molding plus an authentic and complete extra-large Batchelder fireplace to the expansive and absolutely level lot – this Traditional Craftsman home has it all. It’s another quality listing from the leader in South Pasadena Real Estate.
There is a California basement (foundation has been bolted), a breakfast room with a large master crafted built in, formal dining room, separate laundry room and attached garage. There are also barrel vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms upstairs – an incredibly rare architectural feature.
It is clear that this builder spared no expense in creating this one-of-a-kind home made for easy living. The clear and level backyard is enormous and could easily lend itself to expansion of the structure – or the addition of a large pool or even full size ADU.
Here are some bonus features of this property: There is hardwood flooring under the carpet! The wide tree-lined street is newly paved out front. There are fruit trees in the yard – citrus and fig. Also a nice Japanese maple tree and a thriving Hawaiian Plumeria flowering plant in the back yard plus a giant bird of paradise. There is also a spacious pergola covering a large entertainment patio in the back yard.
This is the first time this South Pasadena home has been for sale in over 60 years – so get in to see it – unless you are willing to wait for another 60 years to get a shot at it.
For those who are interested, here’s a link to the video tour below. Hope to see you or hear from you soon. Reach out anytime if I can help with your South Pasadena real estate needs.
