Description

The Guest House -- True Independence, Not an ADUSet on Casa Grande Street -- one of Northeast Pasadena's widest and most beautiful tree-lined streets -- this 1923 single-level residence sits on an expansive 11,404 SF lot in the North Pasadena Heights Landmark District with a fully separate 573 SF guest house. The guest house is completely independent with its own kitchen, bathroom, separate driveway, private entrance, and dedicated parking. This isn't an ADU -- it's a self-contained home, ideal for family, guests, a creative workspace, or rental income.Calling all gardeners -- this one was made for you. The previous owners poured years of love into these grounds, and it shows. A winding flagstone path cuts through cascading azaleas, blooming magnolias, and mature shade trees to a recessed arched entry with French doors. Stone-bordered garden beds, river rock accents, and lush layered plantings wrap the entire lot in color and texture. A permitted garden shed gives you a proper place to store tools and supplies. This is award-winning landscaping on an 11,404 SF lot -- the kind of outdoor space you simply don't find anymore.The 1,863 SF main home opens to a living room with coved ceilings, refinished red oak hardwood floors, and a striking Batchelder tile fireplace -- hand-glazed terra cotta with decorative reliefs that define Pasadena's Arts & Crafts legacy. The formal dining room seats ten beneath a wrought iron chandelier with garden views through every window.A sun-filled family room with board-and-batten paneling, skylights, track lighting, and built-in bookshelves opens directly to the back patio -- seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen features granite countertops, a center island with cooktop, white shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a skylight that fills the room with natural light.Two bedrooms, 13/4 baths, and two built-in offices -- one easily convertible to a third bedroom -- complete the circular floor plan. Updated electrical throughout. Central air conditioning.The backyard is where this property truly sets itself apart. A stone outdoor fireplace anchors an al fresco dining area surrounded by fruit trees -- loquat, orange, sapote, and lemon. Manicured lawns, a vine-draped pergola patio, and meandering flagstone paths create the feeling of a private garden retreat. Detached garage with remote door and rolling driveway gate.50-year roof (2011). Three skylights. Minutes to schools, shops, dining, and Metro.
