Escape to your own private retreat nestled between Highland Park and South Pasadena, offering the perfect blend of urban convenience and serene natural beauty. This pristine mid-century pool home welcomes you with sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains, an effortless open floor plan, wood floors throughout, and an ideal indoor-outdoor flow. The light-filled living room offers large picture windows, custom built-in shelving, and glass doors that open to a spacious deck. The recently remodeled kitchen is perfect for hosting and has been updated with quartz countertops, brass fixtures, a gas range, a dishwasher, a farm sink, new cabinetry, and a large pantry. Down the stairway are the three quiet bedrooms (two that access the backyard), a full bath with a rain shower and double sink, and a roomy laundry area. Step outside into your oasis, where a lush, mostly flat backyard awaits with a Mediterranean blue saltwater pool, native plants, and colorful blooms. Five fruit trees (including avocado, tangelo, apple, lemon, and lime), and six raised planters provide a constant supply of fresh produce. Designed with sustainability in mind, this home features drip irrigation and drought-tolerant landscaping, ensuring easy upkeep without sacrificing beauty. Additional features include a newer roof and a split air & heating system throughout, gated two-car parking, and a storage shed. It's a short distance to both Highland Park's great restaurants and culture and South Pasadena's amazing parks and amenities.
