This is an entire home, not a studio. Save money- DO NOT APPLY until you have seen the property. Unique opportunity to rent this inviting, elegant home in the prestigious San Rafael neighborhood. This private community is a haven - secure and tranquil- yet minutes away from major freeways and Old Town Pasadena. Mid-century modern home surrounded by mature sycamores and live oaks, boasting two large wrap around decks at the main living level and a roof top deck accessed from the kids' bedroom loft! Views and outdoor living at its best. This secluded picturesque neighborhood is a hidden gem. Mission style pool area can be reserve for parties along with the meadow and lake. Keep a canoe or row boat at the dock, fish, feed the ducks. Meet your neighbors while walking the dog along Laguna or San Rafael, or jog down to the Arroyo. The main house is paneled from floor to ceiling in a rich hardwood (pecan) including the master and second bedrooms (not pictured). The vaulted wood ceiling reaches 18 feet at its peak. Imagine your 14 foot Christmas tree in this charming home! Hardwood floors throughout. Enter into the living room (oak floors, wood paneling) and gaze on the enormous red brick fireplace (wood burning, gas lighting, seriously roaring fires in winter are a treat). On your left, sliding glass doors exit to a raised wood deck with views of the meadow and pond. Look through the upper hall to the den (oak floors, wood panelling) to the second red brick fireplace, and glimpse the den patio through the 12 foot wide sliding glass doors. A live oak and magnolia shade your chaise longue. To the right is the cozy chic dining room (oak floors, Scandinavian chandelier). Another sliding glass door leads to the main deck where your gas bar-b-que awaits your guests. This is the "treehouse" deck. An architect designed the kitchen/ dining room breakfast bar in 1963. Modern sleek teak cabinets utilize every drop of space. Enormous double stainless steel sink with pull-out Kohler faucet. Built in-microwave. Side by side fridge. Stainless appliances. Stairs to garage. Master suite has double closets, paneling, parquet floors and a built in dresser. Bathroom is enormous! Hollywood (oversized) tub, turquoise tile, double sinks, a wall of storage. An electric washer/dryer is perfect for small loads when you are feeling too lazy to use the garage level utility room (full washer dryer available). A mural accents one wall. Second bedroom has a loft, accessed via a ladder in the hall closet, with a door out to the private roof top deck! More views! Third bedroom is huge, with three walls of windows, wood floors and a large wardrobe. Hall bath is small but efficient, with double sinks, shower, skylight, large mirror and tons of storage. Separate "granny suite" with a separate entrance. Recently updated, there is a carpeted bedroom and walk in closet. Large bathroom was just remodeled.
