MLS remarks for 946 S. Madison Ave. Pasadena read: In Pasadena, there are specific streets that reflect the unique history and beauty of this city. Madison Avenue, lined with Camphor trees, neighborhood friendly sidewalks, and early 1900s homes is one of them. This particular home, located in the heart of Madison Heights, was designed by one of the great architects of that period – Sylvanus Marston. While this house offers the historic presence of a 1910 Craftsman built home, it reflects the elegance, sophistication and grandness of Marston’s unique style.
The house breathes with its open areas, allowing its owners to enjoy the California elements, including a cool afternoon breeze. The home has been completely upgraded from top to bottom with all the necessary attributes of a contemporary home, yet designed carefully to honor its past. Additionally, a once large enclosed sleeping porch has been converted into a sophisticated master bedroom and bathroom suite. With its vaulted ceiling and 38 individual windows, offering a spectacular view of the San Gabriel Mountains. Each room throughout the house has been restored and upgraded.
Uniquely, the property also features a substantial carriage house. This additional structure has been completely restored, upgraded and renovated with a full one bedroom apartment, including a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry room and office. Additionally, the property features a large enclosed private yard that has been newly landscaped. Its private Alpine Street entrance allow access to the carriage house andhome. The yard has been designed by local landscape architecture, Nord Eriksson from EPT Design. This stunning property is one of a kind in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Pasadena.
I wish we knew how much they spent on upgrades and renovations to see what kind of profit they actually made. It seems it could have been substantial
