If every house tells a story, what tales the Emma M. Black House would tell! Designed by famed architects Greene and Greene, this 1903 character filled home is a testament to craftsmanship, pride of ownership, and Southern California living. Moved from its original location on Pasadena’s Madison Avenue in 1999, this historically designated property is at home in the Garfield Heights Historic District and offers both style and functionality. The 3-bedroom/ 4-bathroom main house greets you with a welcoming porch, gleaming hardwood floors, and lovely period windows that bathe the home in natural light. The three upstairs bedrooms offer amazing views of the San Gabriel mountains and surrounding picturesque neighborhood, with the primary and secondary bedrooms having their own full ensuite bathrooms and the third its own private balcony overlooking the canopy of Oak and Deodar Cedar trees. Amazingly, the home features a roughly 800-square basement, a rare find that invites customization in catering to an array of lifestyle needs. The modern convenience of two washer-dryer hookups on both the first and second floors blends beautifully with more charming aspects like the peekaboo windows in the walk-in closets, pocket doors between the living room and family room and the built-ins adorning the cozy kitchen. The sweet one-bedroom/ one-bathroom cottage with kitchenette awaits rejuvenation, offering the opportunity to reimagine an existing space to suit your own personal invention and taste. With a deep, private lot allowing plenty of parking, and a 2-car garage perfect for storage or enjoying hobbies, this beautifully landscaped home is a true one of a kind Pasadena treasure.
