About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to "Redwood Ranch" located in the heart of beloved San Rafael Hills, Pasadena. This home nestled amidst picturesque surroundings, and tucked into a private cul-de-sac, offers a stunning retreat that serves as a breathtaking backdrop to everyday living. Mid century designed and bathed in natural sunlight, witness spectacular sunsets & mountain views from the comfort of your couch, this is the California charmer you have been waiting for. Your LA story begins as you wake up to this Certified Wildlife Habitat designed by Master Gardener and Sunset Magazine Gardens editor Kristin Guy. A true haven for nature lovers and those seeking a harmonious balance between indoor and outdoor living, this thoughtfully designed two bedroom, two bath invites you to a retreat in the middle of the city. Open the front door and be greeted by rich, wood floors throughout. An open concept floor plan awaits, complete with designer driven aesthetics such as vaulted beamed ceilings and handsome fireplace perfect for cozying up with loved ones. Enjoy your morning coffee and sit and while-away the day as you take in the tranquility on your expansive patio, or grassy lawn perfect for those long LA summer nights, entertaining, or alfresco dining. This nearly 8,000 sqft lot maximizes a sustainable living lifestyle with a custom built coop for two heirloom breed chickens, providing fresh eggs and a touch of rural charm. A hobby green house, and owned solar system lets you be both chic and green. The curated garden dotted with California natives plus thirteen different types of fruiting trees (Meyer Lemon, Eureka Lemon, NecaPlum, Pink Lady Apple, Mexican Lime, Valencia Orange, Pixie Tangerine, Kumquat, Golden Kist Apricot Pomegranate, Passion Vine, Pineapple Guava, Olive) plus an outstanding assortment of local (and exotic) birds & butterflies (for birders and nature lovers). Organic garden, of course, with no pesticides. Who needs the farmers market when you own "Redwood Ranch"? Conveniently located near the secret stairs of the San Rafael Hills for easy access to shops and restaurants along Figueroa, and in close proximity to Old Town Pasadena, Eagle Rock, and Highland Park, this home is more than just a place to live it's an experience. Designated for McKinley Elementary School plus a Preferred Zone for San Rafael Elementary.
