Welcome to the 'Bentz House', a rare and historically significant 1906 Craftsman designed by Greene and Greene. Located in Pasadena's very sought-after historic district, Prospect Park, home to work by Frank Lloyd Wright, Myron Hunt, Wallace Neff, and Buff & Hensman. This was the model home for the neighborhood. Commissioned by the Bentz family, it was designed solely under Charles Greene's direction, and one of the most current, intact examples of his residential work. Set on a large, meticulously landscaped lot with mature trees, including oak, camphor, fruit trees, a wraparound porch, a rear deck, rebuilt greenhouse and two car garage & workshop. The home offers five bedrooms and two full baths upstairs. The main floor includes a large living room with an original fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen, butler's pantry, mudroom, study, and bath. Laundry is located in the basement. There is also a very large attic. Preserved features include original light fixtures, doors, windows and a built-in cabinetry. The finishes, excavated by a noted preservationist, reflect the original color pallet for both paint and flooring.. Upgrades include newer HVAC system, attic insulation, foundation reinforcement, electrical and plumbing improvements, window restoration with new bronze screens, window coverings, a new roof, updated irrigation, leak detection and security systems. This is a unique opportunity to own a documented piece of California's architectural heritage in a neighborhood defined by historic preservation and design integrity.
