Discover this exquisite Spanish-style residence nestled in Pasadena’s coveted San Rafael neighborhood. Tucked away on an idyllic, tree-lined street, this two-story gem offers the perfect harmony of privacy, elegance, and convenience—just moments from downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena’s vibrant core.
Recently updated with meticulous attention to detail, this home boasts a host of modern upgrades, including a new dual-zone HVAC system, a chef’s kitchen featuring all new appliances—such as a 48" gas Wolf stove, 42" Sub Zero refrigerator, and custom pantry shelving. The interior has been refreshed with new paint, refinished wood flooring, new Saltillo floor tile, and updated bathrooms. Additional enhancements include a new on-demand tankless water heater and custom built-in cabinets in the library, providing both style and functionality.
The spacious layout comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The downstairs bedroom and bath offer convenience, while the upstairs features two large bedrooms and a beautifully remodeled bathroom. The primary bedroom is a true retreat, with a Juliette balcony, two professionally designed walk-in closets—including a cedar-lined wardrobe—and an additional room sized walk-in closet in the hallway, all crafted to showcase and organize an impressive wardrobe.
Throughout the home, large arched doorways and casement windows flood the space with natural light, complemented by new recessed lighting, designer fixtures, and elegant chandeliers. The home’s decor is tastefully curated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Enter through a private, enclosed courtyard and pause to enjoy the soothing water feature. The front door is flanked by a profusely blooming bougainvillea noted by neighbors as a stunning showpiece. The grand foyer welcomes you with an impressive light fixture and a wrought iron staircase, recently installed. The foyer leads to the living room with soaring 13-foot vaulted ceilings, a striking decorative fireplace, and a large picture window framing views of the neighborhood. The formal dining room, library, and chef’s kitchen—with a picture window overlooking the private lush backyard—complete this exceptional home.
This home is turnkey and ready for you to move in and enjoy. A full list of improvements is available. Experience timeless elegance in this remarkable residence.
