Designated a Historic Property & Mills Act recipient in 2017, this 4 BD/2 BA home was originally built in 1892 on Euclid Ave. but was moved to Westgate St. in 1925 when work on City Hall began. Notably, this was the longtime residence of civil rights leader & Pasadena NAACP president Ruby Williams. A stately wraparound porch beneath Magnolia and Star Pine trees welcomes you into the home. Inside you'll find elegant living & formal dining rooms with lofty ceilings. The updated chef's kitchen boasts granite counters, an antique Wedgwood stove & opens into the bright family room w/coffered ceiling & expansive views of the lush backyard. A bedroom (currently used as a den) & full bath complete the downstairs. 3 BD/1 BA & laundry room are upstairs. The patio, framed by Seville Orange and Crepe Myrtle trees, is the ideal place to take in the majestic Redwoods & the charming tree house nestled in their branches.
