Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this exceptional 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival is a rare offering in the coveted Southwest—lovingly maintained in its authentic character and rich with provenance. Designed by architect E.W. Klausen and built by O.M. Berg for William Thom, then Mayor of Pasadena, the home is recognized on the City’s Designated Historic Resources & Landmarks list—an address with history, craft, and quiet gravitas. Set on a rare 9,520 sq. ft. lot-and-a-half and spanning approx. 1,891 sq. ft., the 3 bed, 2.5 bath home is a study in preserved craftsmanship—where the architecture and interiors still speak the same language. True to its roots, a composed roofline blends hip and front-gable forms, finished in Spanish clay tile, while original wood casement windows remain throughout, holding the home’s scale, proportions, and warmth. Inside, the kind of material integrity that rarely survives intact sets the tone: lath-and-plaster walls, original doors and hardware, and glass knobs paired with a classic skeleton key—small, cinematic details that instantly place the home in its era. The interior doors feature distinctive round medallion-style carving, adding texture and artistry to everyday passages. Underfoot, 1” wood planks laid in a meticulous 3–4–5 pattern
