Welcome to 1190 N Wilson Avenue
Romantic, warm, & architecturally rich! Perfectly situated on a picturesque, tree-lined street just moments from McDonald Park, 1190 N Wilson Ave is a meticulously restored 4 bed 2 bath storybook Craftsman in the heart of Bungalow Heaven, one of Pasadena’s most picturesque & coveted historic neighborhoods. Lovingly reawakened from the foundation up by Nicole Douglas Designs this home has been curated to create an extraordinary space that truly feels like you've found your own happily ever after! Pasadena’s Design Guidelines for Historic Districts & the National Park Service’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties has been meticulously incorporated into an extensive restoration resulting in a celebration of craftsmanship, history, & elevated modern luxury. No detail has been overlooked, from the pristine St. Augustine lawn, painstakingly rehabilitated exterior millwork & the solid mahogany front door, every nook & cranny exudes thoughtful craftsmanship & welcomes you in. Select-grade white oak floors with a custom stain flow throughout the home's effortless floor-plan. The classic shade porch which will become your favorite happy place to sip morning coffee & welcome the day. Upon entering you will instantly be met by timeless beauty in every direction. The living room is complemented by a quintessential green marble fireplace, original weight-and-pulley single-hung windows, & stunning wainscot & architectural details. The reimagined kitchen pairs hand-stained solid maple cabinetry with substantial exposed beams, antique brass hardware & lighting, & a nature-inspired palette that feels both authentic to the era, meaningful & effortlessly livable today. The primary suite is absolutely breathtaking with a custom walk-in closet, hand-stained knotty alder box-beam ceiling, & wood french doors that let in soft morning sunlight & open up to your own backyard paradise. Both dreamy bathrooms embrace timeless materials & period-inspired details, including a classic clawfoot tub, genuine marble tile, & an inviting arched shower with a custom bench & niches. The backyard is indescribably special & is a tranquil resort unto itself, featuring avocado & lemon trees, vibrant blooming bougainvillea & zen lounge moments throughout. It's a cheerful oasis by day & then becomes pure magic at night illuminated by swanky landscape lighting, a tranquil fountain, covered hot tub, fire pit & a detached storage shed/creative space, to name a few. It is a true dreamscape that will elevate any quiet meditative moment or vibrant family gathering. Throughout, the restoration reflects an extraordinary attention to authenticity, materiality, & craftsmanship rarely found in today's homes. The upgrades & design elements are simply too many to list but a detailed & refreshingly transparent scope of work is available. Behind the beauty, you'll have the peace of mind knowing that the property has been comprehensively reconstructed & all systems have been upgraded in every imaginable way. Structural & foundation improvements, a 200-amp panel with Romex wiring, 100% new copper supply plumbing, ABS drainage plumbing, upgraded insulation, & a 4-ton heat-pump central HVAC system bring contemporary performance to this historic treasure. Originally designed by architect Irvin B. Speicher in 1912, this rare Pasadena treasure is both listed on the National Register of Historic Places & recognized as a contributing structure within the Bungalow Heaven Landmark District. Located in the most ideal part of Bungalow Heaven, with a vibrant community spirit & small town energy you are a stone's throw to adorable shops, cafes & bistros on nearby Washington Blvd & short distance to world class amenities in all directions. This living piece of Pasadena history eagerly awaits the next beautiful chapter to its rich story.
