About This Home

As of March 2025

It's rare to come across a renovation opportunity as enticing as 359 Cherry Drive. With great bones, plenty of space, and a gorgeous neighborhood to boot, this mid-century split-level is the ideal canvas for you to create a home that's uniquely your own. Tucked away on a quiet street in Pasadena's peaceful San Rafael Hills, you're removed from the city's hustle and bustle while still being just minutes from the vibrant scenes of Eagle Rock and Highland Park. But, after you've finished construction, the home will be so gorgeous that you may not want to leave! Inside you'll find a smart floorplan and beautiful architectural features to work with. A massive floor-to-ceiling fireplace unites the foyer, dining room, and living room. The kitchen is perfectly sized and filled with light, but the living room is sure to become the home's showcase space. A vaulted ceiling with exposed beams soars overhead while sliding glass doors open to the deck, creating a peaceful indoor-outdoor flow. One bedroom and a 1/2 bath rest on the main floor while two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom are found on the lower level. The home also includes several bonus areas including a large basement workshop that could serve as a theater room or spacious gym. In the private backyard, a peaceful patio is perfect for sipping lemonade while the shaded, terraced hillside is both picturesque and easy to maintain. Don't miss your chance to transform this mid-century gem into your dream home!
