About this home
Nestled in one of North San Gabriel's most desirable neighborhoods, just blocks from San Marino and minutes from the Huntington, this custom storybook cottage combines timeless character with thoughtful updates and beautiful outdoor spaces. The home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded over the years, preserving its distinctive character while providing the comfort and infrastructure of a well cared for home. Inside, character rich architectural details create a warm and inviting atmosphere, with classic Colonial inspired details and craftsmanship that give this home its unmistakable appeal. An arched garden entry sets the tone before you even reach the front door. Extensive improvements over the years include a full copper repipe, updated electrical, new light fixtures, new pool equipment, updated HVAC and ductwork, and fresh interior and exterior paint. The result is a home that retains its original personality while offering meaningful modern improvements and peace of mind. Adding exceptional versatility is a finished and fully drywalled detached garage of approximately 420 square feet, complete with electricity. More than a traditional garage, this flexible space could serve as a private home office, art or music studio, fitness room, offering valuable additional space without compromising the character of the main residence. The outdoor spaces are a defining feature of the property. A private, wisteria draped backyard is surrounded by mature, professionally maintained landscaping and automatic irrigation, creating a lush and secluded setting for everyday living and entertaining. The backyard features a pool and spa, a covered patio, and generous space for dining, gatherings, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the grounds. Upstairs, a newly retiled private patio captures mountain views and provides an additional outdoor retreat rarely found in homes of this size. Ideally located a short distance from the San Gabriel Country Club, just blocks from San Marino, and minutes from the Huntington, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences of Pasadena, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive and lovingly maintained storybook home in one of San Gabriel's most sought-after pockets. Timeless character, thoughtful improvements, exceptional outdoor living.
North San Gabriel, located between San Gabriel Boulevard and Rosemead Boulevard, is a residential and commercial San Gabriel neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and foothill views. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the San Gabriel Blvd corridor near Las Tunas Drive, where bakeries, boba counters, and small restaurants keep sidewalks active. Classic single-story homes sit behind mature trees, while low-rise plazas line the main arterials. A short drive leads to the Mission District’s historic core and civic spaces. Community touchstones include San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, the San Gabriel Historical Museum, and the San Gabriel Mission. Nearby parks and trailheads add an outdoorsy counterpoint to the dining scene.
