On the market for the first time in 70 years, this 1924 Spanish Colonial Revival in Pasadena's South Arroyo neighborhood is ready for its next steward. Sited on a corner lot beneath two stately Laurel Fig trees, its terracotta roof and lush landscaping hinting at the careful upgrades and character features within. A covered porch entry leads through a grand stone archway to the front door, where an arched stained-glass window and decorative wall niche set an artful tone. Inside, a barrel-vaulted foyer is welcoming with warm sconce lighting. The bright, sizable living room is centered around a decorative fireplace with Spanish tile detailing. A magnificent 300-year-old carved wood cabinet from Cologne serves as the room's signature feature, while a pair of stained-glass doors open directly to the garden. Frosted glass pocket doors lead to an airy family room, suited for quiet reading. On the opposing side of the entry, a bedroom currently staged as a home office features old-world charm. One of the home's many glass-paned interior doors opens into the light-filled formal dining room, anchored by a stunning arched doorway flanked by built-in cabinets. The standout kitchen offers ample space and natural light, a travertine backsplash, and a one-of-a-kind vintage breakfast nook with fold-down bench seating. A hallway with a charming niche connects to the laundry room, complete with built-in storage, plus access to the attached garage with workshop space, a basement, additional closets, and attic access. Follow the hallway to two bedrooms, including the primary suite. The sizable primary bedroom enjoys a large closet and abundant natural light, with its own pocket door leading to a rustic-chic ensuite bath. The room features wood casement windows and a private door to the back deck and patio. Rounding out the home is another elegant and inviting guest bedroom, and a full bathroom featuring classic subway tile, a pedestal sink, and glass sconce lighting. Outside, the backyard offers a succulent garden, and fruiting fig and avocado trees. A gated garden entry leads to this private patio and deck, perfect for serene, relaxed evenings. Located near Pasadena's Arroyo Seco and Rose Bowl, 430 La Loma offers outstanding charm and location.
Lower Arroyo, located between Colorado Boulevard and the South Pasadena border, is a residential and park-rich Pasadena neighborhood with a river-canyon greenbelt and a network of trail crossings. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Colorado Street Bridge and the Arroyo Seco trailheads, where cyclists, runners, and dog-walkers stream past stonework, shade trees, and canyon views. Streets feature early-20th-century bungalows and period revivals set on curving lanes that follow the arroyo’s edge. The Rose Bowl and Brookside Park set a weekend rhythm of open lawns, stadium energy, and mountain backdrops. The Gamble House and the Norton Simon Museum add design and art landmarks close by. Old Pasadena’s independent dining and coffee scene sits just up the hill for a change of pace.
