Fully renovated 1912 Craftsman home. This south-facing gem is nestled on a quiet street in North Alhambra’s historic Olive Tract, neighboring San Marino and South Pasadena. The home captures ample natural light in every room and corner with the morning sun illuminating the living, dinning, kitchen and bedrooms. A rare architectural feature sets this home apart—exterior stairwells providing direct access to the second floor, a unique element that is hard to find in any homes. Meticulously restored and thoughtfully upgraded, every detail of this renovation was carefully executed to preserve the elegance of its Craftsman heritage while integrating modern conveniences. The home features updated electrical, new copper plumbing, new windows, a brand-new kitchen and bathrooms, new insulation, drywall, and split A/C units. The original hardwood floors, wainscoting, built-in cabinetry, king crown moldings, natural green marble kitchen backsplash and natural stone bathroom tiles are installed to preserve the essence of a craftsman home. The floor plan is ideal for multi-generation living. The ground floor includes a living room, dining room, kitchen with a bathroom and laundry corner, a primary suite with an ensuite bath, and an additional bedroom / office. The second-floor features 3 spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, and a study / work corner. There is also a wheelchair-accessible ramp leads to the front entrance. Beyond the main residence, there is a detached original carriage house that features a kitchen, bathroom, dining area, and bedroom, perfect for guests and extended family. A bonus room in the northwest corner of the lot, previously used as a bathhouse, presents an exciting opportunity— it can serve as a studio or potentially be converted into an ADU. Installed new sprinkler system, planted marathon grass seed, planted privacy hedge along the front property line and installed drip irrigation hoses. Sitting on a 76-by-110-foot lot, the property is zoned RM (residential medium density), allowing for greater development potential beyond traditional single-family zoning. Whether you're looking to enhance your living space or maximize investment opportunities, consult with an architect and the City Planner to explore future possibilities. Main house: Approximately (1855 sq ft), Original Carriage house: Approximately (335 sq ft) Studio/bonus room: Approximately (205 Sq Ft) Garage: Approximately (130 sq ft) Total: 2,525 Sq Ft.,
