Perched above the winding, picturesque Gates Place, this charming midcentury 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage rests on a sprawling quarter-acre lot in the heart of South Pasadena. Surrounded by lush native plants along a verdant hillside, the home offers a tranquil blend of indoor and outdoor living. The meticulously designed interior showcases custom built-in cabinetry and a sofa created by Width Over Ears in collaboration with Evan Kinori, all masterfully handcrafted by woodworker Brian Coyle (Maru, Lady White Co). Whether hosting gatherings under the open sky or savoring a peaceful morning coffee, this inviting home encourages a slower, more intentional lifestyle rooted in nature's beauty. Modern comforts, including central AC, in-home laundry, and electric vehicle charging, provide convenience without compromising the rustic charm. Located just moments away from top-rated South Pasadena schools, the beloved Fiore Cafe, the lively South Pasadena Farmers Market, and trendy Highland Park, this property offers the best of serene living with urban accessibility.
