Description
Nestled in the peaceful San Rafael Hills of beautiful Pasadena, this completely reimagined 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is a private contemporary retreat with a touch of Spanish flair. Designed for privacy, comfort, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, it offers treetop views from nearly every window—creating a tranquil, treehouse-like ambiance that feels worlds away from the city.

Step into the light-filled living room, where new three-pane picture windows frame lush greenery and mature trees. The fireplace surround features Taj Mahal quartzite and is topped with a custom white oak mantle, adding timeless elegance and natural warmth to the heart of the home. Natural-finish white oak plank floors enhance the sophistication throughout.

The open layout flows into a cook’s kitchen featuring a 36-inch range, hand-glazed tile backsplash, quartzite countertops, and a built-in café nook with storage overlooking the backyard’s Trex deck and yard—strung with ambient lights and perfect for entertaining guests under the stars.

The private primary retreat features a spacious walk-in closet and French doors that open to the backyard, where you can sip your morning coffee surrounded by birdsong and soft, filtered light through the trees. The ensuite bath includes a nature-facing shower window for a spa-like experience. Two additional bedrooms include one with its own ensuite, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

A fully outfitted laundry and mudroom offers abundant cabinetry, a folding station, drying rod, and built-in storage—a stylish landing space for daily essentials.

Home has been completely renovated to include: new plumbing throughout, a new roof, 200-amp electrical panel and service, tankless Navien water heater with instant hot, new HVAC system, new rain gutters, and a garage wired for EV charging.

Enjoy a fully redesigned landscape with thoughtfully crafted multi-level outdoor spaces—complete with a new sprinkler system, ideal for gardening, entertaining, or relaxing in your custom outdoor retreat.

Located just minutes from Old Pasadena, Northeast LA, and Downtown, this beautifully reimagined home offers easy access to the best in shopping, dining, and culture—while remaining a peaceful escape surrounded by nature.
