Rare 1917 Transitional Craftsman with stunning renovations, situated on a quiet tree-lined street under towering palms in South Pasadena. The home carries captivating lore from its very first owner, a dentist who ran a clever Prohibition-era operation.

A welcoming front porch leads into a formal living room anchored by preserved 1917 Philippine Mahogany colonnades and an inglenook fireplace with artisan tile.
