Character-rich 1930s cottage in Sierra Madre asking just under $1M

On the market for the first time in over half a century is this sweet 1931 cottage in Sierra Madre.

While the 1,993-square-foot bungalow is undeniably in need of freshening up, it’s not at all difficult to envision it being turned into a Pinterest-worthy pin-up.

Along with hardwood floors, archways, built-ins, French doors, a Batchelder-style fireplace, vintage light fixtures, and handsome woodwork, the three-bedroom, two-bath is blessed with a bounty of beautiful period tile. There’s also a roomy front porch and a one-car garage.

Located on a .3-acre lot, it’s listed with an asking price of $998,900.
