Originally built in 1908 for the family of A.S.C. Forbes, 1104 Lyndon Street in South Pasadena was meticulously upgraded and expanded in recent years into a remarkable Craftsman style home with character and quality updates throughout. Mrs. Forbes is a well known promoter of the history and romance of Southern California and developed the California Bell Company to honor and recreate El Camino Real throughout California. The main home enjoys large living spaces, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a bright den/dayroom and wood paneled dining room with South facing windows. Recent updates include new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing and verdant landscaping around the entire property. Attention to details are evident with high quality fixtures, gleaming wood floors, a brand new kitchen with Kitchen-Aid appliances. At the rear of the property, a detached accessory dwelling unit with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom is fully permitted by the city and offers flexible space for private use or rental income with privacy and easy access. The backyard is lushly landscaped with container gardens, fruit trees, grassy lawn and multiple patios for outdoor dining and play. Every evening, neighbors stroll the neighborhood and watching them from the front porch is a relaxing way to end the day. Available for the first time in almost 40 years, this cultural landmark is ready for a new owner to enjoy a new chapter and write their own stories. Located just North of the award winning South Pasadena High School, this home is a few blocks from the Thursday farmer's market, Metro train station, shopping, and all
