Westside glamour meets the refined elegance of Pasadena's exclusive San Rafael Heights. Completely reimagined in 2019, 645 South San Rafael Ave is a turnkey luxury home where tech-enhanced lifestyle ease harmonizes with gorgeous natural materials and lush surroundings. Tucked behind tall hedges and a gated entry on a private, corner lot, the home greets you with a stylish facade and meticulously landscaped front yard. Inside, natural light pours into the living room from a massive picture window and collapsible glass doors, which open to the expansive rear patio. Offering a fantastic indoor-outdoor flow, this defining entertainment area allows guests to mingle with ease. In the dining room, an elegant wine display makes selecting the evening's bottle a special ritual while the great room includes a dream-kitchen outfitted with Thermador and Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, and a 13-ft porcelain-topped waterfall island worthy of a meal cooked by Nancy Silverton herself. Sunlight floods through the overhead skylights and the attached family room invites loved ones to gather here in the heart of the home. The luxurious primary suite, privately tucked on its own floor, features gorgeous wood paneling, a cavernous walk-in closet, and picturesque views. With a lavish, marble-wrapped ensuite including a soaking tub, heated floors, and a steam shower, you'll treasure this secluded sanctuary. A second bedroom suite, equally grand, is tucked down a first floor hallway along with two additional bedrooms and a full-sized hall bath. A fifth bedroom, near the kitchen, is perfect as service quarters or an office. The grounds include an exceptionally private backyard that offers a large, heated patio with outdoor kitchen for al fresco meals year round, a spacious grassy lawn, and a shimmering pool with spa. A fully permitted ADU currently serves as a sound-proof media room for immersive movie nights. Updated with amazing tech, including Samsung biometric entry, security cameras, EV chargers, surround sound and much more, 645 S San Rafael Ave leaves nothing to be desired. Your next amazing chapter awaits at this exquisite home where elegance, luxury, and ease imbue each day.
