Known for its serene setting in the wooded Pasadena Glen community, this 3-bedroom/3-bath contemporary home offers updated amenities while preserving its historic qualities. At its heart, you’ll find an authentic wooden, two-story home that has been completely remodeled and expanded while maintaining its best features. Overlooking the Glen and shaded all-around by mature, Coast Live Oaks,it is considered one of the most beautiful spots in the Sierra Madre Mountains.

The front door takes you into a two-story, wood-paneled living room with one of two fireplaces and stone tile floors. Off the living room is a large, full bath and then the family room with double-ceiling fans and office space. From the living room, you can also access the dining room and an updated kitchen with cherrywood cabinetry and mahogany granite countertops. The two-car attached garage has a laundry area, built-in workshop with an epoxy-coated floor, and a high-efficiency air and heating HVAC system that helps purify this home’s air.

A short flight of stairs takes you to the second level with its landing overlooking the living room and the large front windows. Built-in book shelves and storage closet line the hallway leading to the two bedrooms and a full bath. Just beyond is the spacious master suite, featuring a whirlpool soaking tub and separate glass enclosed shower, and a spacious bedroom fronted by a balcony overlooking the Glen. A majestic glass sliding door takes you outside where you’ll find a perfect view of the sun set as you listen to the abundant bird song. The master also offers a second fireplace and a walk-in closet.

Perhaps one of the most amazing features of this property is its roomy, private yard with its fairytale setting. There are two seating areas in the yard, one with a BBQ area with refrigerator and sink plus 9’ waterfall with recycled water.  The other area for seating offers a firepit carpeted by recycled pavers with a wishing well drinking fountain beside it. Best of all is the playhouse with a loft, outfitted with electricity, lights on timer, ceiling fan and a wall-mounted TV.

Parking is plentiful as there is a front driveway with room for three cars and additional parking for two more along an easement at the back of the property. At the 1700’ elevation, surrounded by coast live oak, maple, elm, sycamore and elder you’ll find a microclimate of summer temps, typically cooler than downtown Pasadena, and warmer in winter with a variety of species of birds, squirrels, deer and quail that make this area their home.

Just a short drive from Pasadena’s fine restaurants, markets, schools and coffee houses, and just 15 miles from downtown LA., this mountain property is tranquil, relaxing and a must-see to believe!
