The restoration reflects an authenticity & high level of craftsmanship rarely found in today's homes. Behind the beauty, you'll have the peace of mind knowing that the property has been comprehensively reconstructed from the foundation & structure up with extensive system upgrades. A 200-amp panel, 100% new copper plumbing, upgraded insulation, & a 4-ton heat-pump central HVAC system to name a few. Originally designed by architect Irvin B. Speicher in 1912, this Pasadena treasure is both listed on the National Register of Historic Places & is a contributing structure in the Bungalow Heaven Landmark District.
