About 1180 N Catalina Avenue
Nestled in the highly desirable Bungalow Heaven Landmark District, this charming 1912 Craftsman bungalow--built by Vernon O. Whitcomb--is a contributing property to the district and offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,132 square feet, all on a single level. Set on a generous, flat 10,113-square-foot lot (60' x 168' deep!), the front porch welcomes you into a living room with a brick fireplace and bookcase partitions leading to a dining room, all framed by exposed Douglas Fir wainscoting. The kitchen features dark blue tile countertops, a bay window, an O'Keefe & Merritt stove, dishwasher, and fridge. A breakfast nook with built-in seating overlooks the backyard. The master bedroom impresses with soaring ceilings and a unique glass-enclosed sunken bathtub, with French doors opening to the outdoor retreat. Outside, enjoy a private sanctuary with a deck, built-in hot tub/spa, lawn, and mature fruit trees and oaks. Additional highlights include hardwood floors, inside laundry with washer and dryer, plaster walls and ceilings, built-in bookshelves, and original wood trim. Behind the house is a 441-square-foot detached 2-car garage, built new in 1985 and thoughtfully converted into an art studio--ideal as a future ADU--with its own central heating and air, high ceilings, skylights, track lighting, French doors, and Craftsman-style windows. This home is an excellent candidate for Mills Act. Come experience a tranquil slice of heaven in one of Pasadena's most sought-after neighborhoods.
