Description
Perched high atop Pasadena's peaceful San Rafael Hills, 412 Elmwood Drive is a design-forward retreat where exceptional privacy, thoughtful updates, and spectacular views come together in perfect harmony. More than just a home, this is a private sanctuary that feels worlds away, yet deeply connected to its lush, natural surroundings. At the street level, a 2-car garage rests near a gated outdoor staircase leading up the verdant hillside. Open the gate, ascend the stairs, and discover your bliss, starting with a whimsical, secluded front patio. Framed by greenery and hidden from the street below, you're instantly transported to a world of peaceful serenity. Inside, a dramatic great room welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and an expansive picture window that stretches across the space, showcasing the San Gabriel mountains like living art. Bathed in natural light, this open-concept living and dining area is equal parts stylish and inspiring--perfect for intimate gatherings, creative pursuits, or evenings soundtracked by vinyl and conversation. The beautifully designed kitchen features a large skylight, custom cabinetry, premium JennAir appliances, and sleek stone countertops, all anchored by a generous workspace and oversized sink. A nearby powder bath and laundry room add convenience, while Walnut hardwood floors, Heath Ceramics tile accents, and Milgard windows enhance the home's modern yet warm aesthetic throughout. Two spacious bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and picturesque mountain views, while a third--tucked privately down the hall with French doors to the backyard--makes an ideal studio, office, or creative sanctuary. The bedrooms share a spacious, designer bathroom with a dramatic skylight and dual vanities. Out back, a tranquil, verdant oasis awaits. A partially covered deck draped in vines filters soft, dappled light, surrounded by lush landscaping and mature orange trees--evoking a serene, hidden garden escape. Moments from Little Flower Cafe, the Rose Bowl, Eagle Rock, and Old Town Pasadena, this home blends distinctive architectural appeal, privacy, and an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle in one of Pasadena's most desirable enclaves.
