Nestled on a tranquil street in South Pasadena, this welcoming two-story home is a peaceful retreat, thoughtfully crafted for comfortable, everyday living. Located just moments from top-rated Monterey Hills Elementary School, this pocket of South Pasadena offers a true sense of community. Strolling through the Monterey Hills on any given morning, you’ll be greeted by the music of songbirds and your neighbors as you enjoy the natural surrounding beauty.
Step inside the 2,413 sqft home and you’ll be welcomed by soaring, wood-paneled, vaulted ceilings in the living room that create a sense of openness and warmth as natural light floods in through the large windows and continues into the formal dining room — perfect for weeknight meals, homework, or festive holiday gatherings. Just beyond, the kitchen opens to the family room, making it easy to stay connected while cooking or entertaining.
Head upstairs and you’ll find all 3 bedrooms conveniently located on the same level. Both secondary bedrooms offer lots of space and versatility. One even has a newly installed Murphy bed that doubles as a work station when not in use, perfect for remote working or hosting guests. Both bedrooms share a bathroom featuring a double vanity sink with plenty of space to get ready.
The spacious primary suite offers everything you’ve been looking for in a primary bedroom: its own private ensuite bath, a custom walk-in closet, and an additional wall of custom build-in wardrobes— no more sharing closet space!
Outside, the backyard offers a peaceful escape and an ideal setting for play and entertaining. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee under the olive tree, spending a summer afternoon with friends beneath the shaded pergola, or hosting an al fresco dinner, the space invites you to slow down and savor every moment.
The cherry on top? A rare 3-car garage makes parking and storage simple and stress-free.
This home's prime location offers easy access to Trader Joe’s, the South Pas Farmer's Market, and Monterey Hills Elementary, a Distinguished Blue Ribbon school. Come discover what life could hold for you at 1541 Indiana Ave.
