What's special
A benchmark of South Pasadena's environmental design. Thoughtfully customized and sustainably upgraded. This serene 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence complements an intentional lifestyle, thoughtfully aligned with ecological responsibility. The main floor features the kitchen and entertaining areas of the residence, flooded with natural light on all sides. Upstairs, the primary en-suite and second bedroom are gently brightened by skylights that invite in a calm, natural light. A custom balcony offers wide views of the San Gabriel Mountains, subtly connecting the indoors to the surrounding landscape. In the bathroom, a jet tub and meticulously detailed tilework showcase a subtle dedication to craftsmanship and purposeful design. Outside the drought-tolerant front yard with mature fruit trees and a bench offers a respite from evening strolls. The backyard features trellised grape vines, a spacious outdoor area for entertaining, and nightly soaks in the spa. A large 2-car garage with a GE electric vehicle charging station and attic space offers versatile storage options and room for expansion. Interior highlights include carbonized strand bamboo throughout the home and cork flooring in the kitchen. Lyptus and bamboo custom cabinetry, Richlite and recycled glass countertops, and American Clay zero-VOC wall finish. Milgard dual-pane low-e windows with lifetime warranty, recycled denim insulation, and solid wheat-core doors enhance comfort and efficiency. The bathrooms boast custom concrete finishes, while Ipe wood decks, stairs, and Class A fire-rated railings offer long-lasting durability and style. This home features a 5.39 kW Mission Solar system and an Owens Corning Cool Roof installed in 2023, which the seller will fully pay at the close of escrow and include with the sale. Walk your kids to award-winning schools, the Farmers Market, and all of the best that Mission Street and the South Pasadena community provide.
