Marketing remarks for 714 Prospect Blvd., Pasadena: 714 Prospect Boulevard, in Pasadena’s Prospect Park National Register District, was designed by architect Louis Millar between 1909 & 1911 as the home for J.C. Brainard, one of Prospect Park’s three original developers, with striking curb appeal and an ideal location in the heart of the picturesque neighborhood. This transitional craftsman home comes to market for the first time in 65 years. It is set amongst architectural gems by Frank Lloyd Wright, Greene and Greene, Wallace Neff, and the Heinemans.
This home, with five bedrooms and 3½ baths, spans 3,137 interior square feet (taped) on an 11,755-square-foot flat lot (assessor). A rare ownership opportunity in a prized location. The foyer separates dining and living rooms, boasting box beam ceilings and quarter-sawn oak floors. A studio/garden room with bonus storage opens to the patio and backyard.
At the rear, an updated retro kitchen and authentic butler’s pantry adjoin guest quarters with a 3/4 bath. The center stairway leads to an upper landing, with four bedrooms radiating (one tandem), including the primary suite. Original maple flooring and abundant natural light from double-hung windows and French doors grace the upper floor. The detached garage easily accommodates two vehicles with some access modifications. Close to Rose Bowl, Old Town Pasadena, and West Pasadena’s best. Don’t miss this special offering.
