Thoughtfully sited on an oversized lot in the San Rafael Hills of Pasadena, this mid-century home captivates from every angle. Hidden below the street behind privacy hedges, this single level 3 bedroom, 2 bath residence is a classic study in 1950s simplicity and the harmonious integration of indoor/outdoor space. From the moment of entry, your eyes will be drawn to the floor-to-ceiling windows and the park-like grounds beyond. With all rooms oriented to the north you are cradled among the treetops with distant glimpses of the majestic San Gabriel Mountains. With a focus on the natural world, the uncluttered communal living and dining areas blur and encourage sustained relaxation by the focal fireplace. The clean lines of the adjacent retro galley kitchen provide a nostalgic nod to simpler days. The primary suite is ideally situated on the east wing of the home. A long corridor extending westward presents two additional light-filled bedrooms and another full bath with rare period slant-front vanity. A generous laundry room completes the interior. Outside, an exposed aggregate concrete patio and raised deck extend along the length of the home, providing numerous intimate gathering spots. Steps lead to another large flagstone patio and to a series of paths which meander through the gently terraced backyard. Here, the gardens are dotted with oaks, several varietal citrus trees, an eclectic selection of native and drought-tolerant plants and plenty of space for the next owners' imagination to run wild! Ideally located in the hills bridging Pasadena to Los Angeles and in close proximity to the iconic Rose Bowl, Arroyo Seco and the fabulous shopping and dining experiences of Old Town, this property is truly special.
