Set in one of South Pasadena's most coveted neighborhoods, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to own a true compound offering space, flexibility, and timeless character. Featuring a substantial main residence, detached guest cottage, workshop, and expansive grounds, the possibilities are nearly endless. The main home is anchored by an inviting living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with natural light and a gas fireplace creates a warm focal point for everyday living and entertaining. Nearby, the dining room connects seamlessly to the kitchen, complete with a built-in breakfast nook, generous counter space, and large windows overlooking the property. Thoughtfully expanded over the years, the home offers a versatile private wing with a spacious bedroom, full bathroom, and wet bar, ideal for extended family, guests, or a separate living area. The primary suite enjoys a peaceful setting away from the main gathering spaces and features a walk-in closet, abundant natural light, and direct access to a sunroom perfectly suited for a home office, library, or sitting room. Upstairs, a substantial bonus level offers exceptional flexibility with views of the lush grounds, abundant storage, and a guest bathroom. Whether utilized as additional bedrooms, creative workspace, recreation room, or home office, the space adapts easily to a variety of needs. Surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping, the expansive backyard provides a picturesque setting for entertaining, gardening, recreation, or future expansion. A large California basement offers valuable additional storage beneath the home. At the rear of the property, a detached two-car garage is complemented by a workshop below, while a separate one-bedroom, one-bath cottage creates an outstanding opportunity for multigenerational living, guests, a private office, or rental income. Complete with its own address, separate utilities, garage, living room with fireplace and built-ins, full kitchen, spacious bedroom, and private bath, the cottage is a truly valuable extension of the property. Located moments from Garfield Park, shopping & dining on Mission Street & Fair Oaks Ave, and South Pasadena's award-winning schools, this is a rare offering where flexibility, scale, and opportunity come together in one remarkable property.
