Nestled in the North Pasadena Heights Landmark District, you'll find one of the rare gems of the Arroyo: the Charles F. Mathews home. This charming two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow is 1,294 sf (assessor) with a 444 sf (taped) finished bonus area upstairs, all resting on a 10,555 sf lot (assessor). Clad in Arroyo river rock, sourced from when the area was a natural arroyo, it features intricate cement window detailing that mimics branches, showcasing true artisanal craftsmanship. The entry greets you with a boulder fireplace and a tray ceiling overhead. You'll find an updated kitchen opening to the dining room, and both open to the large rear deck and yard. There is a full bathroom with both a tub and a separate shower stall. The interior was recently refreshed with paint. Hardwood floors are throughout, upgraded electrical, copper plumbing, and central air and heat keep everything comfortable. There is a ton of storage in the bonus room, in the garage, and in the large basement. The fenced backyard offers generous outdoor space ready for your plans. The 600 sf garage (taped) is an excellent ADU candidate if you ever want extra living space, and you won't lose any onsite parking because there's plenty of that. The home is in good condition and ready for your upgrades, and it is located within a historic enclave surrounded by other architecturally significant homes.
