    What's special

    Fruit treesLovely and spacious yardSurrounded by mature treesPrivate yard areaTranquil large yardLarge seasonal permaculture gardenPitched ceiling
    Short term (3-6 mos) rental only* This charming, furnished, studio, guest house cottage is situated in the rear yard of our 1920's Spanish home in the Historic Highlands area of Pasadena. The space features: -Tiny home sized cooks kitchen with gleaming counter tops, oven, range, tiny home sized refrigerator & open wall shelving. -Wall AC/heat, ceiling fan for comfort. -Rich, warm, hand stained, plank wood, pitched ceiling. -1910, chippy paint, barn doors and windows. -Dark wood laminate flooring. -The unique, spacious, greenhouse bathroom will wow the nature lover. This space will not be for everyone. It is decidedly tiny and just wonderful for a minimalist human who enjoys outdoor / indoor living. The Cottage has it's own private yard area with picnic table & benches. Our property has a lovely and spacious yard (shared space) surrounded by mature trees. The yard is very well maintained and has been described as "magical". There's a large, seasonal, permaculture garden that you are invited to pick from and plant in. Many fruit trees: peach, plucot, plum, nectarine, lime, apple, avocado, grapefruit and cactus fruit. We have chickens! The Cottage is chicken coop adjacent. You WILL hear chicken noises. Nestled near the base of the San Gabriel mountains, in the sought after Historic Highlands neighborhood, you'll love this peaceful neighborhood. The homes here are mostly single family homes from 1920's development. Absolutely charming to walk our tree lined streets. Take a stroll just a couple blocks down to the Shops on Hill area with great coffee shops, restaurants, hair & nail salons, gyms & more. Near JPL, Caltech & downtown Pasadena. Located just 15 minutes to downtown LA. Easy access to the metro & the bus. My family and I live in the main home. We try our best to live a sustainable lifestyle. We compost, conserve water and energy and grow an abundance of our own food in our large permaculture garden. We have a flock of chickens on the property and we are happy to share fresh eggs. Tiny Cottage guest house. Wonderful neighborhood. Space in our garden. Fresh eggs (when available). Tranquil large yard. Views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Short walk to local amenities. Plentiful street parking (no permits required). All utilities included. No Dogs. Cats considered. Available furnished or unfurnished. Month to month availability. 3 - 6 month, short term stay ONLY. Available Nov 1, 2025. **Fine print: I am looking for someone very specific for this fabulous space. Ideally someone looking for a temporary spot. 3-6 months. I have family that will need to occupying it soon. The cottage is best suited for one person. The greenhouse bathroom is technically "outside". It's fully private and fully weatherproof. Please feel free to ask any questions you want through the messenger here. You will need to fill out an application here on Zillow to be able to see the space in person. I require good credit, solid references and a 3x income to rent ratio. Thank you for understanding that I need to keep my property and my family safe. Using an application to get solid information is how I do this. Owner pays all utilities and Wi-fi.
