Condition: This 1931 Craftsman property, despite its age, presents in good condition due to significant and tasteful renovations.

The guest house also boasts updated features like slate countertops and stainless-steel accents. Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout, and modern elements like recessed lighting are present in living areas. While one bathroom shown (Image 4) appears dated with a pedestal sink and older tiled shower, the overall property is move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria. The dated bathroom is a minor update that could be addressed, but does not detract from the overall well-maintained and updated feel of the property.

About this home

Located at 910 and 912 Bushnell Avenue in Alhambra, this 1931 Craftsman and its original guest house/ADU, embody a timeless dialogue between heritage and modern ease. Together, they form a rare architectural duet where history hums quietly through every windowpane, beam, and tile.The 1,368-square-foot main home unfolds with warmth and intention: While tax records show two bedrooms in the main home, a third bedroom is in place and provides additional versatility for modern living. In the kitchen, stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops meet a bay window that frames the garden like a painting. A living room anchored by a Batchelder-tiled fireplace, leaded-glass windows, and honeyed hardwood floors captures the soul of the Craftsman era its calm proportions and hand-wrought details offering a sanctuary of light, craftsmanship, and quiet sophistication. Beyond the main home, a charming detached 678 square-foot guesthouse, graced with its own entrances and private yard, offers a modern echo of the original architecture and an opportunity for rental income. With one bedroom, one bath, and a generous living space bathed in natural light, it exudes the easy rhythm of California living. Hardwood floors, slate countertops, and stainless-steel accents balance vintage charm with contemporary comfort, creating a retreat as independent as it is harmonious.A finished 375 square foot, 2 car garage, environmentally heated and cooled, complete with its own bath, adds yet another creative layer: studio, office, gym, or guest suite the possibilities as limitless as the imagination of its next steward.Outdoors, manicured gardens and fruit-laden citrus trees create a green sanctuary under the wide California sky. Here, afternoons stretch lazily, laughter drifts across the yard, and twilight settles softly over two dwellings that share one spirit. Perfectly positioned near the heart of Alhambra and just moments from the storied enclaves of San Marino and South Pasadena, 910 and 912 Bushnell are more than mere addressesthey are a way of life. A place to live fully, to dream boldly, and to cherish deeply, where every corner whispers history and every moment holds the promise of something new. OFFER DEADLINE 11/25 AT 2:00pm
