About This Home

As of October 2018

Privacy and tranquility await! Be completely surprised when you walk into this amazing traditional Pasadena home. The exterior is so unassuming! Experience a circular floor plan where every window offers lush tree-top views. Sitting right on the border of San Marino and South Pasadena, you'll have easy access to the best of each neighborhood. Walk to the quaint little cafes on Mission Street or cycle to the metro. Walk to Pasadena's International Baccalaureate Magnet School or play pickleball at Allendale Park. This home offers many options. Treetop views, custom interiors, beautifully unique features, (such as the Japanese-style spa in the master bath, or a balcony at the kitchenette) and thoughtful upgrades are found throughout this home. Situated on a tree-lined street with lush mature landscaping, the yard of this home feels nicely tucked away and welcoming for any lucky owner. There are far too many features to list here. Please come to an open house or call for a showing appointment to experience this lovely dwelling.
