Nestled in Southwest Pasadena, this single-story cottage blends privacy, character, and modern updates. The home's hidden garden offers a rare sense of seclusion in the San Raphael Hills while still being minutes from city conveniences. Inside, the classic center-hall floor plan leads to three comfortable bedrooms and two stylish baths (one shower/tub combo and the other a walk-in shower). The wood floors—adorned with artistic medallions—add warmth and custom charm. The kitchen was refreshed in 2020 along with major system upgrades, including a new electrical panel, HVAC, and plumbing, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Outdoors, the yard wraps gracefully around the property, creating multiple areas for gardening, play, or entertaining. The sparkling pool becomes especially magical at night, offering the perfect backdrop for gatherings. A two-car garage—accessed by steps from the backyard—is a rare amenity in this neighborhood, adding both storage and convenience. Additional highlights include thoughtful custom touches throughout and the unique positioning of the home on a peninsula of land between two streets, screened by mature plantings for enhanced privacy. This is a chance to own a retreat in a prime Pasadena location—where garden tranquility meets modern comfort. Some photos have been digitally altered.
