Home of the Day: The house that Grape-Nuts built
Located just off Millionaire’s Row in Pasadena, this charming 1892 Victorian was originally commissioned by a member of the Post cereal family. Representing the early days of a fortune built one breakfast at time, the thoughtfully renovated home features extensive wood trim, pine flooring, restored or replicated hardware and front and back porches. Modern updates include a chef’s kitchen with 48-inch Viking range, SubZero refrigerator/freezer — and, of course, a large breakfast area.
