Reminiscent of a Mediterranean hillside retreat, this rare 1924 villa in South Pasadena pairs canyon vistas and terraced gardens with the relaxed elegance of California indoor-outdoor living. Set on an expansive 15,324 sq ft lot, the property is surrounded by lush greenery. Approaching the front door, you're greeted by a large clay-tiled patio with sweeping canyon views extending all the way to the San Gabriel Mountains. Upon entry, an airy living room-complete with a working fireplace-fills with natural light from a collection of original swinging windows. A pair of double French doors leads to a spacious wooden deck, perfect for entertaining. Continue into the full-size dining room and through a well-appointed kitchen, where another set of double French doors opens to a charming outdoor dining and BBQ garden. At the rear of the property is a large, pebbled, level yard ideal for a playground, garden retreat, or private fitness space. The indoor-outdoor flow of this terraced, multi-level home is truly unique, evoking the feeling of a Mediterranean hillside escape. Nearly every room enjoys direct outdoor access, and each window frames surrounding plant life. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Just off the main bedroom is an additional room that would make an excellent office, nursery, or reading room. Below the main house, above the two-car garage, is a completely remodeled 280-square-foot third bedroom, in-law suite, or studio with a full bathroom and its own private entrance. Since acquiring the home in 2024, the current owners have thoughtfully restored the property to honor its rich original character and period details while integrating modern systems and amenities. Major improvements include updated plumbing, sewer, and electrical systems; foundation work; a new roof and HVAC; tankless water heater; refinished original oak floors; and high-quality kitchen appliances. All just moments away from the charming heart of South Pasadena, with its beloved cafes, bistros, farmers market, boutique shops, parks, library, and award-winning schools.
