Property Description

Tucked away on the charming and coveted Marguerita Lane, originally built as an artists' colony by brothers architect and builder Burton and Denman Schutt, also known for other famous works like the Hotel Bel-Air and many estates throughout Bel-Air and Beverly Hills. This inviting Pasadena home offers a rare blend of comfort, character, and tranquility. While first greeted by bougainvillea, you will enter the courtyard, where you are met with a striking Khalo cobalt blue wall, with a tile-adorned niche on the rear of the wall that distinguishes the entrance to the property and adds to its privacy. The tranquil courtyard is surrounded by a multitude of lush plants and foliage, featuring a pond/water garden that serves as a habitat for fish. A peaceful place to convene. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and handcrafted architectural adornments and stained glass windows designed and made by a previous owner. The living room has a large window behind the cozy front porch and a gorgeous one-of-a-kind tiled fireplace. A beautiful tiled archway leads into the dining room, serving as both a functional threshold and a decorative framing of space, alluding to the architectural heritage of this Spanish Revival home. The kitchen features dark wood cabinetry paired with white, blue, and yellow tiled countertops, and an original Bicentennial stained glass door that speaks to the handcrafted nature of the home. The main house offers two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom that sit behind beautiful swinging wrought iron doors. The bathroom follows the same handcrafted tile motifs as the rest of the home, as well as an abundance of natural light that pours through the bay window at the center of the bathroom. The backyard is designed for both entertaining and relaxation. Situated under a beautiful Japanese Maple Tree, the yard features a lion's head fountain and a built-in barbecue. Ideal for outdoor dining and weekend gatherings. Adding flexibility and value, the detached garage has been transformed into a versatile art studio or private office. Including a fully permitted 3/4 bathroom with laundry and storage. It also boasts a built-in tiled workbench with a bar sink and storage, perfect for creative work, guest use, a peaceful retreat, or potential future ADU (buyer to verify). This 1922 Spanish Revival home is a contributing architectural site according to the National Register, and has been approved and included in the Mills Act. Not only does the Mills Act help save thousands of dollars on annual property taxes, but it also gives one an opportunity to help preserve a beautiful example of historic California architecture. The home has undergone many upgrades in 2025, including a new main electrical panel and sub panel, foundation work on both the main house and garage, plumbing work (such as a new sewer line), as well as a new drip irrigation system.A rare opportunity to own a true Spanish Revival gem with charm, history, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Come experience the enchantment of this truly special home.
