774 Coniston Rd Pasadena, CA 91103

Agent Remarks: In the mid 1920's the Art Deco style was gaining prominence due in part to what it represented - luxury, glamour, & technological progress. In the 1930's & with the introduction of new forms of building materials, the Streamline Moderne style emerged with a focus on curving forms. Fortunately, that style made its way to Pasadena & in 1941, 774 Coniston Rd was built. Situated on the east bank of the Arroyo, 774 Coniston Rd showcases the Streamline Moderne style perfectly. Curved lines on the front porch, recessed oval ceilings in the living room & den, & a smooth plaster finish on the fireplace, mantle, & shelving continue this theme. The current owners have done a wonderful job updating the home during their tenure including new windows, refinished hardwood flooring, hvac, copper plumbing, updated electrical, foundation retrofitting, & tankless water heater. Off the central hallway are the 2 bedrooms & bathroom. The bathroom has been remodeled with modern conveniences including a Japanese style bathtub & toilet. The kitchen includes original tile countertops, wooden cabinets, & a breakfast nook with access to the rear yard. The dining room features concrete flooring & accordion style doors that fully open to the wood deck. The grounds of the 10,600 sf parcel have been recognized a 'Certified Wildlife Habitat' for the natural landscaping installed. It is easy to see why after experiencing all that the space has to offer including walking paths, gazebo, deck, & lighting.
