Tranquility and Creativity in the Shadow of the San Gabriels
This suburban gem is set on an oak-lined street only minutes from downtown Pasadena and walking distance or a quick drive from La Cañada’s retail and restaurant row.
Single story, bright and breezy, with a brick lined pool out back, the house has three bedrooms and two baths—a king primary suite, queen room with lounge area, and a single room, all hung with vivid art and fitted with custom cabinetry. An open floorplan and oversized sliding doors have updated the classic, single-story suburban house, along with gem-toned furnishings and built-ins and bright accents, creating an easygoing atmosphere that oozes California cool.
Outdoors, the pool terrace is equipped with both a gas grill and Traeger smoker and an alfresco dining table that seats 12, perfect for low-key, poolside entertaining. There’s ample street parking and a driveway that fits two cars.
Please note: The pool is unheated. It receives direct sunlight all day but, depending on the outdoor temperature, it can sometimes be chilly.
Around
Set in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountain range, this suburban home occupies a leafy residential street a few blocks off the main boulevard of La Cañada, just blocks from the entrances to the 210 freeway. Mountain views can be seen from the front drive area, and the creative enclave of Silver Lake is a quick, 10-15 minute drive from the house as is the Rose Bowl and downtown Pasadena. Outdoor enthusiasts will find easy access to parks, hiking trails, and the Angeles National Forest. Nearby hiking trails include the Mt. Lukens trail, Cherry Canyon Park and La Cañada Flintridge segment of the Gabrielino Trail, all with big views and plenty of rugged, natural beauty. The 150-acre botanical garden, Descanso Gardens, is a local treasure nearby, overflowing with local flowers, plants and woodlands. The town of La Cañada Flintridge offers boutique shopping, small cafes, and farm-to-table restaurants, with the buzz of downtown LA only 15 miles away.
