610 Prospect Boulevard

610 Prospect Boulevard was designed in 1923 by Wallace Neff and is one of 7 homes attributed to the architect in west Pasadena's Prospect Park National Register District. Situated mid-way into the original 'Prospect Tract' just past the entry pillars at Orange Grove Boulevard and shaded by a canopy of camphor trees, this south-facing property sits among striking revival homes on a deep, flat lot totaling over a third of an acre. It is a premier micro-location in a coveted neighborhood renowned for its homes of architectural pedigree by masters such as Greene & Greene, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alfred Heineman, Buff & Hensman, Harold Bissner and more. Having remained in the same family for the past 50 years, this home is largely untouched and exemplifies the longevity of homeownership in the neighborhood and the rarity of such offerings. A classic mediterranean residence in need of its 100-year refit, this expansive 2-story residence of 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms is an opportunity to have everything wanted in a historic home. With a district precedence for rear expansions, this lot can easily accommodate additional living space, a swimming pool, and/or conversion of the existing 2-car garage and workshop into a permitted ADU. Well insulated by the value of the surrounding properties, this residence is an excellent palette to exercise your love for home. Just a short distance to the Rose Bowl, Old Town Pasadena, the Gamble House, Kidspace Museum and the Norton Simon Museum, the surrounding community envelops this neighborhood with fantastic options for entertainment, education and exercise.
