Remarks

Perched high atop the hills of South Pasadena, this extraordinary mid-century retreat captures some of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the city, spanning the San Gabriel Valley, surrounding mountains, Old Town Pasadena, Colorado bridge, and sparkling city lights that come alive after sunset. Nestled among mature trees, the home evokes the feeling of a modern-day treehouse sanctuary, offering remarkable privacy, serenity, and connection to nature.Thoughtfully designed across two levels, the residence features a dedicated two-car carport and welcomes you through a formal entry with powder room before ascending to an expansive upper-level living space where walls of glass frame spectacular vistas from nearly every angle. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the spacious living room, with its striking fireplace, and generous dining area, creating an effortless setting for entertaining and everyday living. The beautifully updated kitchen features stone countertops, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and an adjacent butler's pantry. The original garage has been transformed into a versatile live-work space and home gym.The lower level offers a spacious guest bedroom with access to a private patio, a large bath with double vanity and separate toilet room,
