The 550+ sq. ft. unfinished basement with a fireplace and exterior doors provides a rare opportunity to create an ADU or studio, adding substantial future value and living space.
With 1,758 square feet of finished living space, the home's interior footprint is relatively small for the $1.85M price point compared to other luxury residences in Pasadena.

City views. Mid-century bones. ADU potential. This is the one you've been waiting for. Welcome to 80 Sequoia Drive, an upgraded single-story retreat perched on a quiet cul-de-sac in Pasadena's coveted San Rafael Hills, where breathtaking city skyline views and San Gabriel Mountain sunsets greet you every evening from your private rear deck. Not counted in the square footage is a 550+ sq. ft. basement with its own fireplace, windows, and two separate doors. It already has the bones of a studio, home office, gym, or income-generating ADU. In a state where ADU permitting has never been more accessible, this is not a storage room, it's a wealth-building asset waiting to be unlocked. Set on nearly a third of an acre, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been finished with the kind of precision and restraint that discerning owners recognize immediately. New porcelain flooring flows through the entire home. Upgraded interior doors. Designer glass-rock fireplaces, two of them. Dual-pane windows that flood every room with natural light. This is not a flip. This is a home someone actually thought through. The kitchen earns its reputation. A professional six-burner Thermador range and hood, Bosch dishwasher, built-in water filtration, and a refrigerator that conveys, everything here is ready for someone who cooks, entertains, and refuses to compromise. The spacious rear deck with custom railing, Meyer lemon tree, and red grapefruit tree extends the living space outdoors, framed by one of the most dramatic skyline views in the neighborhood. Every bedroom includes custom closet organizers. The renovated bathroom features a six-foot insulated soaking tub and shower combo with a floating vanity. The three-car garage is outfitted with custom cabinetry and a 220V EV charger — ready for how you actually live today. Plus, a secondary water filtration system already installed in the basement, upgraded attic insulation, and a new water heater, and you have infrastructure that matches the finishes. Then there's the opportunity most buyers miss entirely. All shelving conveys. Security mailbox included. 80 Sequoia Drive is for the buyer who values architecture, quality, and long-term upside over short-term compromise.
