1918 house with secret wet bar asks $1.95M in posh Pasadena

This timelessly stylish house is located in the ritzy neighborhood near Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, near Linda Vista Avenue, and was designed by the Pasadena firm Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury, which designed several other houses in the area.

Built in 1918, the four-bedroom estate sits on a 13,220-square-foot lot with mature avocado trees, and it has some cool touches, both modern and vintage.

The main residence has been updated, and includes central air conditioning and heating, plus a “robust” earthquake retrofit. The house holds a hidden wet bar, two fireplaces and a nearly 1,000-square-foot basement. In a sign of the times, the garage has a Tesla recharging station and even boasts its own bathroom.

There’s also a renovated one-bedroom guest house with its own kitchen and bathroom.

The property has been in the same family for more than 50 years. It’s now listed for $1.95 million.
