371 E Claremont Pasadena, CA 91104

Nestled above the street for added privacy and presence, this beautifully reimagined early 20th-century home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Believed to date back to 1906-and possibly even earlier, as original building permits are no longer on file-the residence carries a rich sense of history that adds to its unique appeal. Set on an expansive lot, the property offers a true outdoor retreat complete with a sparkling pool, lush garden spaces, and room to relax, entertain, or play. Thoughtfully designed landscaping highlights native, butterfly-attracting plants, creating a vibrant and ever-changing natural setting. The grounds are dotted with a curated collection of mature trees, including olive, redbud, acacia, palo verde, and Chinese elm, along with fruit-bearing varieties such as clementine, Meyer lemon, and a producing grapefruit tree-plus additional lemon and avocado trees-offering both beauty and bounty. Inside, the home features a wonderful sense of flow, with generously sized bedrooms-each with its own ensuite bathroom-providing comfort and flexibility for everyday living or hosting guests. The detached garage has been thoughtfully finished and is currently used as an art studio, offering a versatile space ideal for creative pursuits, a home office, or potential flex use. Architecturally rooted in vernacular design with subtle Craftsman influences, the home retains its historic charm while benefiting from decades of thoughtful improvements, including a substantial enlargement in 1991 that shaped its current footprint. The current owners have further enhanced the home with significant upgrades, elevating both style and function throughout. A rare blend of heritage, character, and modern livability-offering a truly special place to call home.
