909 S El Molino Avenue

Built in 1923 and owned by the same family for the last 101 years, this Madison Heights single-story Spanish home has been lovingly maintained and preserved, retaining all of the original character and charm. Graciously set back from the street, this home with its symmetrical front facade is understatedand intriguing. The front portico welcomes visitors to the richly stained original front door that opens to a large, airy living room with high ceilings, ample natural light from both French windows and doors, and direct access to the side yard. A stately fireplace anchors the room and is framed by a pair of French doors that step out to the veranda, perfect for sipping a cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. Beyond the living room is the formal dining room, also with direct access to the side yard, that adjoins a breakfast nook and butler's pantry. The vintage kitchen is right out of a magazine with pristine Wedgewood stove, checkerboard floor, and original built-in-place cabinets. A ''service porch'' reminiscent of a bygone era has washer/dryer hookups, the tankless water heater, and looks out to the substantial backyard. The south side of the house continues the high ceilings and features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All of the bedrooms have original wood floors and generous closets. There is a detached 2-car garage and avast backyard that provides endless possibilities for expansion, recreation, gardening, or potentially an ADU. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a century-old home that has never sold, on a more than 14,000 square foot lot, in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Pasadena.
