About this home
Welcome to 705 Rim Road, a turnkey 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 2,606-square-foot mid-century modern residence in the heart of Lower Hastings Ranch. A sleek black exterior, manicured turf lawn, and clean architectural lines set the tone before you even reach the front door. Step inside and you're welcomed first by the dining room, with a dramatic dual-sided fireplace anchoring the space between the dining room and living room. From there, the open-concept layout continues in two directions, flowing into the kitchen on one side and the family room (currently being used as a playpen) on the other, creating a seamless, connected footprint ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen is a showpiece in its own right, featuring a porcelain-slab waterfall island with seating, quartz perimeter countertops and backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a professional-grade 36-inch six-burner range. Wide-plank European Oak hardwood floors flow throughout the home, complemented by recessed lighting in every room for a clean, elevated finish. The primary suite offers a true retreat with dual closets, including a spacious walk-in, and a spa-inspired ensuite walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and three additional bathrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office setup. The home was fully renovated in 2022, including a new roof, new plumbing, 200-amp electrical panel with all-new wiring, a tankless water heater with circulating pump, and dual-zone HVAC. Outside, the home truly shines as an entertainer's dream. A sprawling concrete deck offers over 1,000 square feet of outdoor living space, shaded by mature oaks and framed by a custom pergola with a fire pit lounge and separate al fresco dining area. With no rear neighbors, the backyard feels private and serene, a rare find this close to the city. Ideally located in Lower Hastings Ranch, 705 Rim Road offers the quiet, tucked-away feel today's buyers are searching for, just minutes from Eaton Canyon's trails and golf course, and without sacrificing proximity to Pasadena's best shopping, dining, and freeway access.
Lower Hastings Ranch, located between East Colorado Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard, is a residential and retail Pasadena neighborhood with midcentury ranch homes and a foothill backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Rosemead Boulevard and East Colorado Boulevard crossroads, where grocery storefronts, casual eateries, and everyday services keep the sidewalks active. Postwar streetscapes mix low-slung houses, tidy lawns, and wide driveways with pockets of apartments near the arterials. Eaton Canyon’s trail network frames the eastern edge with chaparral views and weekend foot traffic. Local routines orbit around Pasadena’s east-side shopping corridors and nearby parks.
