Property Description

Perched gracefully in the picturesque hills of South Pasadena, this private sanctuary exudes both elegance and versatility, nestled within a coveted 10/10 top-rated school district. This thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence spans 2,651 sq ft on a generous 9,060 sq ft lot, complemented by a bonus room adaptable as a fourth bedroom, home office, or creative studio. Fully remodeled in 2013, the home has been recently refreshed with pristine new flooring and freshly painted interiors, offering a seamless blend of modern comfort and timeless style.

Every floor of this distinctive home features its own entrance, living room, and deck, creating versatile spaces for entertaining and relaxation. This rare layout also presents the opportunity to transform the residence into two separate living quarters—perfect for multi-generational living & dynamic layout or the potential to live in one unit while leasing the other.

This Mediterranean-inspired charm home harmoniously merges classical design with contemporary elegance, creating an atmosphere of warmth, comfort, and Zen-like serenity. Each bedroom offers sweeping scenic vistas, where the gentle chorus of birdsong accompanies the start of each day. Terraced steps enhance both privacy and tranquility, crafting a serene hillside retreat unlike any other.

The expansive backyard porch, an extraordinary feature in this hillside setting, invites a lifestyle of recreation and leisure, offering ample space for tennis, basketball, or imaginative outdoor living. Picture the possibilities: a pool, sunhouse, or even a treehouse, all framed by nature’s beauty.

Set across two lots, the property provides remarkable development potential, with room for up to four homes (buyer to verify), making it a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity in one of South Pasadena’s most prestigious enclaves. This is more than a home—it’s a rare canvas for elevated living, creativity, and serenity.
