Description
A rare offering in the heart of South Pasadena, this newly constructed home artfully captures the charm and integrity of a 1920s Craftsman cottage reimagined through a refined, contemporary lens. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, enjoy an exceptional location just moments from parks, golf, equestrian trails, vibrant shops, cafes, restaurants of Mission Street, Trader Joe's, public library, and top-rated local schools. The curb appeal is undeniable. A gracious, full-length front porch invites you to slow down and settle in, setting the tone. Spanning approximately 2,584 square feet, the main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, thoughtfully designed with elegance and livability in mind. The interior unfolds into a light-filled, open-concept floor plan where a formal living room, anchored by a fireplace with travertine stone and custom built-ins, flows seamlessly into a media room/home office and a beautifully proportioned formal dining room. The chef's kitchen is both expansive and functional, featuring quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, oversized island/seating, and dedicated dry bar, ideal for everyday living and effortless entertaining.A long hallway leads to two generously sized guest bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with soaking tub and dual vanity. Privately situated at the rear of the home, the primary suite offers a quiet retreat, complete with walk-in closet and a spa-like bath featuring a large shower and double vanity. Beyond the main living areas, the property reveals true versatility. An attached JADU (314 sf) offers a fully equipped studio-style layout with kitchen and bath, perfect for guests, extended family, or supplemental income. Adjacent, an additional 1,220 sf of fully finished attic space presents a remarkable opportunity. With pending plans already in place for a 2-bedroom, 1-bath ADU complete with kitchenette, open living/dining area, the possibilities are substantial, whether for multi-generational living, a live/work environment, or meaningful passive income. Exterior grounds are equally considered. A long, gated driveway provides security and flexibility, offering ample space for recreation, play, or additional parking. Private backyard is designed for relaxed living with outdoor lounge and dining frames in a lush garden. It is an uncommon opportunity to own a brand new home that honors the past while embracing the present with timeless design, modern comfort, and exceptional potential!
