Property Description
History doesn’t come on the market every day! Designed by Locke and Munsell in 1898, this two-story historic Classic Shingle residence proudly represents the Markham Place Historic Landmark District. With 3,560 square feet of living space set on a generous 13,632 square foot lot, this home is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Pasadena’s past. As you enter the spacious foyer, you are greeted by a graceful flow that connects the formal dining room on one side with the expansive living room on the other. These welcoming spaces set the tone for timeless sophistication, blending historic character with an atmosphere perfect for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The living room transitions seamlessly into a private den brimming with natural light, an ideal retreat waiting to become your personal sanctuary. From here, step into the sun-drenched sunroom, where walls of windows frame tranquil views of the serene private backyard, offering a perfect setting to unwind, entertain, or simply savor the beauty of nature. The kitchen, complete with a charming butler's pantry, invites transformation into the true heart of the home, reflecting your personal style. A laundry room and bathroom are also conveniently located on the main floor, providing a solid foundation for both comfort and functionality. Upstairs, you’ll find a bathroom and three additional bedrooms, along with two unfinished bedrooms, each with its own unfinished sunroom and bathroom—spaces filled with potential and awaiting your vision. Rising above it all, the 785-square-foot attic offers yet another exciting opportunity: an unfinished bedroom and bathroom, ready to be reimagined as a private retreat, home office, or bonus living area. Just minutes from shopping and dining, this historic residence offers both peace and security while keeping modern conveniences within easy reach. This is more than a property—it’s a living piece of history, rich with stories, timeless charm, and unlimited potential. Don’t miss the chance to own the past and shape its next chapter.
