A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity awaits in South Pasadena, where the last undeveloped parcel of land in the city’s flatlands—complete with a pristine 1911 American Craftsman home—is up for sale. The home at 1559 Diamond Avenue will host its final Open House this Saturday, May 10, and Sunday, May 11, from 1–4 PM before offers are reviewed.
Preserved 1911 Architecture Meets Modern Upgrades
This exceptional 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence spans 1,646 square feet and boasts original architectural elements from over a century ago. Homebuyers will appreciate features like original lighting fixtures, door hardware, beamed ceilings, moldings, built-ins, and even a pullout bed constructed in 1911.
Modern upgrades add comfort without compromising historical charm. These include:
- A brand-new roof on the main house and garage
- New 200-amp electrical panel
- Redwood rear fence with custom fabricated gate
- New 50-gallon water heater with custom venting
- Natural slate stone flooring in the kitchen from Mission Tile
- A Kohler designer kitchen faucet
Currently listed at $1,899,000 by Derek Vaughan of South Pasadena Homes, the property offers a unique blend of historic preservation and modern functionality.
An Irreplaceable Lot with Deep Historical Roots
Beyond the house itself, the land is a standout feature. The property stretches across an entire city block from Diamond Avenue to Meridian Avenue, providing thousands of square feet of untouched land. Once sold and developed, this piece of flat South Pasadena real estate will truly become history.
Interested buyers are encouraged to attend the final Open House this weekend. To learn more or view a video tour, visit the official listing at SouthPasadenaHomes.com.
