Supplements: Batchelder tile reproduction by artist Cha-Rie Tang in Pasadena anchor the space in practical beauty. Vintage stained glass enlivens two of the home's four bathrooms and peaks through the arched hallway. Three fully remastered bathrooms retain their nostalgic features such as custom vanities and stained glass while showcasing current innovations such as waterproof hardwoods, Kohler fixtures, and Rejuvenation lighting. Welcome to the master suite, where the bedroom window nestles in the privacy of the Wisteria arbor and rose garden that runs along the back of the house. Dual French doors lead to the attached screened-in porch while the two-sided fireplace and stand-alone cast-iron tub await their new owner. Upstairs, a hexagon window with shutters adds whimsy to the Jack and Jill bathroom between sizable bedrooms, each with generous closets and views. Look for the fossilized ammonites hidden in the wood reclaimed from the kitchen's original island by local furniture artist, Aaron Sanchez, which now sits in one of the two upstairs rooms as a window seat from which to daydream, read, or watch the city lights below. Enter the in-law suite with its own 3/4 bath, library, built-in media center, two twin Murphy beds, one full size Murphy bed, separate entrance, and unique access to the garage. The library with floor to ceiling bookshelves holds a full-size Murphy bed and its custom Craftsman style barn door conceals a mirror for guests. Further into the in-law suite, discover 21 feet of quartz countertops, a drink refrigerator, an appliance cart uniquely crafted for the space, as well as a sink base formed from the same reclaimed pine which forms shutters on the front of the house. Newly installed plantation shutters and bamboo shades are available should one wish to shut out the light from the twelve windows. Updates include hardwood floors throughout, fresh paint, and a new metal roof (2018). Stay warm this winter with radiant heat, and 2 custom fireplaces. Truly a Craftsman's delight! This home shows perfectly and lives even better!
