Property Description
Welcome to 126 S San Marino. Built in 1932, this English Revival treasure carries the grace of another era while embracing the comforts of today. From the moment you arrive, you'll sense the timeless character that makes this home truly a special place where history and heart come together. Original beveled-glass windows catch the light, wood-beamed ceilings add warmth overhead, and every room is framed with thoughtful details: built-in cabinetry, ornate fixtures, and restored windows that speak to the craftsmanship of nearly a century ago. The home features a welcoming living room, a formal dining room, a breakfast room, two spacious bedrooms, a beautifully preserved full bath with original tile, a powder room, and 800+ sf of attic bonus space plus a California basement. Outdoors, the story continues. Beyond the inviting front lawn lie a backyard that feels like a private sanctuary and two additional distinct garden areas, creating a tapestry of greenery--perfect for afternoons with friends, quiet mornings with coffee, or evenings under the stars. The detached two-car garage with private patio offers even more possibilities, whether as a creative studio or future ADU. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with historic charm, including central heating and cooling for the entire home. Every space has been thoughtfully maintained and enhanced, creating a home that is as livable as it is beautiful. 126 S San Marino is more than a residence. It is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Pasadena's architectural history, ideally located just minutes from The Huntington Gardens, Cal Tech and the city's premier shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.
