Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1986 (38 years old), the property appears well-maintained but is significantly dated. The kitchen and living areas feature original oak cabinetry, white tile countertops, and square tile flooring characteristic of the late 80s. While functional and move-in ready, the home lacks recent renovations to its primary systems and finishes, placing it in the 'Fair' category due to its age and need for cosmetic updates.
Boasting over 5,400 square feet of living space, this residence offers rare scale for the area, including a flexible suite ideal for multi-generational living or a sophisticated home office.
The property features sweeping canyon and city light views from multiple decks across three levels, providing a tranquil and private atmosphere that maximizes the California indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Situated in a highly sought-after neighborhood, the home combines the privacy of a hillside retreat with the prestige and convenience of a top-tier South Pasadena address.
The three-story configuration, with the majority of bedrooms located on the top level, may pose accessibility challenges for buyers seeking a more traditional or single-level flow.
The steep topography and extensive decking associated with hillside properties typically require more rigorous ongoing maintenance and landscaping upkeep compared to flat-lot residences.
Set against sweeping hillside vistas in the heart of sought-after South Pasadena, this distinctive residence offers an exceptional blend of space, versatility, and indoor-outdoor living. With four bedrooms, including a flexible bedroom suite ideal for extended family, guests, or an in-law setup, the home is designed to adapt to a variety of lifestyles. Multiple decks provide an inviting backdrop for morning coffee, sunset entertaining, or simply taking in the surrounding landscape. Thoughtfully arranged across three levels with three bedrooms located on the third level, the home offers excellent separation between living, entertaining, and private spaces. The generous living room features a fireplace and an open, airy feel, complemented by a sophisticated dining area and seamless connection to the outdoor spaces. The peaceful setting, mature landscaping, abundant windows, and spectacular views create a rare sense of privacy and tranquility, while the home's flexible floor plan offers endless possibilities.
