E Orange Grove BL Pasadena CA 91104 MLS #25616437

Set against the dramatic rise of the San Gabriel Mountains and just moments from Pasadena’s storied Bungalow Heaven, 1764 E. Orange Grove is a rare expression of early 20th-century Spanish Revival charm. Thoughtfully revived through a year-long restoration by Studio Marrant, this home is not simply updated, but reawakened: a celebration of craftsmanship, materiality, and atmosphere. A meandering path through mature rosemary and native plantings leads to the coved ceiling living room, where a newly reconstructed plaster fireplace anchors the space. Carefully restored arched wood windows, original to the 1920s construction, frame mountain silhouettes that shift in tone throughout the day, turning rose-colored at dusk. Light dances across curated vintage and custom fixtures, creating a warm, grounded serenity that carries throughout the home.The dining room flows into a kitchen inspired by European countryside sensibilities, an elevated yet effortless gathering space. Custom cabinetry and a gracious rojo alicante marble island are complemented by a suite of refined fixtures and appliances including Bertazzoni range, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and Rohl brass hardware. Handmade tile, honed stone, and bespoke carpentry lend the room a timeless, lived-in elegance. Two bedrooms line the main hallway, offering generous closet space. The ensuite primary bath evokes a Mediterranean retreat: a vintage Barovier & Toso pendant casts a soft glow over a deep soaking tub, surrounded by custom oak cabinetry and hand-applied concretta plaster. A second set of Pinky’s iron doors opens out to an expanded patio with ORCA pavers and custom ironwork, a place designed for slow mornings and evening aperitivo. Beyond, follow a stone pathway through citrus and pomegranate trees to raised garden beds and a detached garage with alley access, offering opportunities for a studio, ADU, or workshop.Nestled in one of Pasadena’s most beloved and architecturally rich neighborhoods, and only minutes to Woon, Millie’s, Deluxe 1717, verdant parks, and the historic charm of Old Town, this home stands as a testament to considered design and enduring craftsmanship. A soulful home to be lived in slowly — rooted in history, shaped with care, and ready for its next chapter.
