Timeless design meets romantic restoration in this 1920s Spanish, located minutes from Pasadena's character-rich, Bungalow Heaven. Reimagined by Studio Marrant over the course of a year-long renovation, this 3-bed, 2-bath home effortlessly combines old world elegance with modern updates and beautiful workmanship. 1764 E. Orange Grove inspires peace and serenity grounded by original wood details, honed travertine, handmade tiles, bespoke cabinetry, and abundant natural light. A pathway through mature rosemary bushes and native plants usher you into the living room with coved ceilings and newly reconstructed gas fireplace. Carefully restored arched wood windows frame sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains in the distance, turning pink at dusk. In the evenings, the home glows with thoughtfully curated vintage and custom light fixtures. Off the dining room, an updated kitchen inspired by European charm, is outfitted with high-end appliances and fixtures, including Bertazzoni oven, Fisher/Paykel refrigerator, Rohl brass faucets, custom cabinetry, luxe marble countertops and graciously sized center island. From the hallway, two bedrooms with generous closet space, lead to a Pinky's iron Dutch door looking out on the private, flat yard. The ensuite primary evokes feelings of a Mediterranean retreat, with a vintage Barvoier & Toso glass pendant hanging over the deep soaking tub, surrounded by oak custom cabinetry and concretta plaster walls. A second set of Pinky's iron doors open to a patio with ORCA tiles and custom metal work, ready for morning lounging and an evening apertivo. Wander outside, through citrus and pomegranate trees, following a stone pathway to garden boxes and a garage with alley access. Located in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods, moments from local cafes (Woon, Millie's, Deluxe 1717), parks, and the charm of Old Town. This home is a rare opportunity to experience historic character, considered design, and quality craftsmanship.

Despite being built in 1926, this property has undergone a comprehensive, year-long renovation by Studio Marrant, effectively making it a 'virtually new' home in terms of its interior and finishes. The description highlights 'modern updates and beautiful workmanship,' 'high-end appliances and fixtures' in the kitchen (Bertazzoni, Fisher/Paykel, Rohl brass faucets, luxe marble, custom cabinetry), and a 'Mediterranean retreat' primary bathroom with a deep soaking tub, oak custom cabinetry, and concretta plaster walls. The images confirm these details, showcasing pristine, high-quality materials, modern aesthetics, and no visible signs of wear or deferred maintenance. All major components, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, appear to be brand new and meet current luxury standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Restoration & Design: The property has undergone a year-long, romantic restoration by Studio Marrant, seamlessly blending its 1920s Spanish character with modern updates, high-quality workmanship, and curated vintage/custom fixtures.
Premium Finishes & Appliances: Features high-end materials and brands throughout, including original wood details, honed travertine, handmade tiles, bespoke cabinetry, luxe marble countertops, Bertazzoni oven, Fisher/Paykel refrigerator, and Rohl brass faucets.
Prime Pasadena Location: Located in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods, minutes from the historic Bungalow Heaven, local cafes, parks, and the charm of Old Town, offering excellent walkability and community access.
San Gabriel Mountain Views: Carefully restored arched wood windows frame sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains, providing a picturesque backdrop, especially at dusk.
Charming Outdoor Spaces & Alley Access: Offers a private, flat yard with mature landscaping, citrus and pomegranate trees, garden boxes, a patio with ORCA tiles, and a garage with convenient alley access, enhancing outdoor living.

Cons

Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The property description does not specify the presence of an air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a significant consideration for comfort during Pasadena's warmer months.
Age-Related Maintenance Considerations: Built in 1926, despite extensive renovation, older homes can still present unique maintenance challenges or require ongoing care for historic elements and infrastructure not explicitly detailed as fully replaced.
Limited Bedroom Count for Price Point: With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property's room count might be considered limited for its nearly $2 million price tag, potentially narrowing its appeal to buyers requiring more space or additional bedrooms.
