295 Marguerita Lane
Pasadena, CA 91106

Dreamy 1928 Spanish revival is a portal to a Santa Fe fantasy in Pasadena. Located at the end of storied Marguerita Lane (possibly the most charming private cul de sac in Southwest Pasadena), this secluded sanctuary is a revelation. Introduced by lush bougainvillea and an entry mural in saturated Kahlo cobalt blue, the front garden courtyard with flagstone patio boasts a wrap-around water feature and koi pond with blooming water lilies. Everything in this property is hand crafted with artistry and skill, from the carved wood driveway gate to the custom tile work throughout - this truly is an artist's compound. Spanish revival hallmarks include custom ironwork, handmade tile details, and warm saltillo tile from the covered front porch, continuing seamlessly inside. Public spaces are steeped in character, with custom tile work and stained glass windows matching hand-painted motifs in the living and dining rooms. Unique antique iron light fixtures throughout impart a sense of soulfulness and permanence in this historic home. The kitchen, with vaulted beamed ceiling is decorated in a sunny sky palette of white, yellow, and blue with skylights to match. Don't miss the fun custom bicentennial theme stained glass on the side door! Dining and living rooms enjoy picture perfect views of the front garden, while the bathroom, with harlequin tilework and matching artist-painted walls offers an open window to the shady back garden. The two nicely-sized bedrooms boast casement wood windows, one with eastern exposure, the other western. A real bonus: the garage has been converted to a spacious creative studio space with laundry/bath, wet bar and ample storage. Double wood doors open from the studio to the enclosed carport patio on one side, and the lush backyard on the other. This bonus studio offers endless opportunity for use and enjoyment. Entertainers and chefs will love the backyard patio with built-in grill area and an additional cascading fountain -- this place may just be paradise found. Close to everything, but so quiet that you'd never know!
