About This Home

As of September 2019

Tucked away at the center of everything in West Pasadena near the Rose Bowl, 860 Seco Street encapsulates the feeling of an artist's retreat. Set back on an expansive lot behind a high wall, this gated property provides an incredible amount of seclusion in a dynamic location. The curving span of the Prospect Boulevard Bridge adds architectural interest and frames the gardens, which are punctuated by towering palms, tightly coiffed carob trees and extensive xeriscape plantings. Once part of a larger compound constructed in 1951, this guest house subdivision has grown over time to include 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with 1,451 interior square feet. There are lofted beamed ceilings with clerestory windows providing extensive natural light to the common areas. The open-concept kitchen is adjacent to the back terrace and waterfall feature. A two-car partially enclosed carport is included, as are paid-for solar panels. This home is a rare Pasadena offering at an incredibly affordable entry-level price point.
