Our family is heading to Portugal for a sabbatical, and we're looking for someone to enjoy our furnished Pasadena home from January 1 to June 30, 2027. This is a 1930s Spanish colonial on a quiet, friendly street near the Rose Bowl, CalTech, JPL. Inside you'll find original details with hand-painted accents, a wrought-iron stair rail, exposed dark wood beams, arched doorways, and hardwood floors.

A separate powder room sits off the main living area with a shower. The fenced, terraced garden has brick patios, stone steps, succulents and mature trees.
