About This Home

As of November 2019

One of the original homes in the desirable San Rafael Hills, this carefully restored 1923 Spanish jewel, is set on an expansive double lot. The four bedroom, four bathroom single-story residence is framed by majestic deodars, draped in vibrant bougainvillea, and surrounded by lush, drought-tolerant gardens. Twice recognized by the Pasadena Beautiful Foundation's Golden Arrow Award, the gardens are a study in both privacy and tranquility.The flexible interior spaces are equally glorious. A formal, entry leads to the elegant living and dining rooms. Old world craftsmanship and original architectural details include quarter-sawn white oak floors, coved ceilings, and mahogany windows and doors. Tasteful additions to the home include a luxurious master suite, spacious chef's kitchen, dedicated office area, and laundry room. The private master retreat features a romantic sitting area with center fireplace, walk-in closet/dressing room, spa-like bathroom, and access to the lovely courtyard and back gardens.The rear garden is an oasis and lends itself to a variety of entertaining options, with intimate patio spaces. A flagstone path is dotted with herbs and an array of succulents. A private pool and spa area complete the picture.
