Home of the Week: A Craftsman Faithful to Pasadena Style

Published on Sep 20, 2020

This Craftsman bungalow may not be the biggest bruiser on the block, but itโ€™s hard to beat for its sheer faithfulness to Pasadena style. It was built in 1924, when the city was embracing the British-born Arts and Crafts movement, reflecting an appreciation for artisan design against the harshness of the Industrial Revolution.

While staying true to classic design details, such as built-ins in a bathroom and the formal dining room, the interior of the three-bedroom, two-bath cottage is very much at home in the 21st century, thanks to remodeling that carved out an airy, light-filled open-concept layout. Highlights include a large landscaped backyard with fencing and a cozy people-watching porch.

The listing is held by Joy Bolger of Compass.
