About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to your Montecito Heights bohemian hideaway located on Collis Ave- where South Pasadena, Highland Park and Los Angeles intersect. Upon opening the door you're met with an effortless option to explore the home outright, or to walk through to a welcoming hallway into the private living quarters with two spacious bedrooms each providing their own flavor of calm, and a classic 50s era bathroom with stylish touches that's perfect for long baths and relaxation. When entering back into the living room, you're immediately met with a formal dining room and a sun-drenched bonus room perfect for reading a good book and respite. The kitchen is stunning, with lots of storage, a built-in wine rack, beautiful countertops, and natural light. The kitchen countertop even has a nook perfect for breakfast and a morning paper or al fresco dining. There's a Kenmore refrigerator, a 5 burner GE gas oven, and a bosch dishwasher. When you exit out of the glass doors, you're met with a massive outdoor living space and a detached creative film/sound studio straightaway. Continue past the studio and into a tranquil sitting area filled with native plants and solitude. If perhaps you're yearning for even more private creative epiphanies or endeavors, there's another terrace with an art studio that looks out to the lemon and mulberry trees and 2 raised garden beds. Just past there, is another manicured terrace to just be, stay up way past bedtime, or for farm to table gatherings. With 3 split AC units, 1,614 square feet of light-filled comfort and an expansive 7,500 SF lot, this home is both a soulful sanctuary and entertainers dream. There's original hardwood floors throughout, gas heat, a separate washroom with a washer and dryer, and the music/film studio also has a split A/C. Square footage does not include studio spaces. Minutes from Figueroa/York in Highland Park, South Pasadena, and major freeways for quick access to DTLA and Dodgers Stadium.This home keeps you connected without sacrificing the getaway feel. Welcome Home.
