Description

Some places make you choose: the energy of the city or the peace of nature. This isn’t one of those places. Nestled into a private hillside in Pasadena, this home sits on a property that has been thoughtfully excavated into three tiered decks — cascading levels of lush, green outdoor space that feel worlds away from the bustle of city life. Come home to birdsong, flowering beds, and the kind of stillness that genuinely restores you. This is a sanctuary. A retreat. The kind of place you’ll actually look forward to coming back to. And yet — everything is right there. The Pasadena Farmers Market is a short walk away. Laemmle’s Playhouse, the Palladium, great restaurants, coffee shops, and independent boutiques — all within a stone’s throw. The Metro A Line (Gold Line) puts you 10 minutes from the heart of Pasadena or shooting straight down into Downtown LA. You get the rare gift of urban convenience without sacrificing a single ounce of peace and quiet at home. 🏡 The Property The hillside has been carefully carved into three tiered outdoor decks, creating a layered, garden-like environment that is both beautiful and functional. The decks feature established flower beds that bloom with care — a professional gardener visits weekly (included in rent), but if you have a green thumb and love to plant, tend, and nurture, this space will absolutely reward you. It’s an added joy, not an obligation. The home itself is well-maintained, warm, and inviting — a true reflection of the care that has gone into this property over the years. 👤 Who We’re Looking For This is not a crash pad. We’re looking for a responsible, respectful individual or couple who will treat this home as their own — because that’s exactly what it will be. Someone who appreciates the rare combination of natural beauty and city access that this property offers. Someone who takes pride in their living space, communicates openly, and understands that a home like this deserves to be looked after. Bonus points if you love being outdoors, have an interest in gardening, or simply appreciate waking up surrounded by greenery and quiet — while knowing that in ten minutes, you can be anywhere in the city you need to be. 📍 Location: Pasadena, CA — 10 min to Downtown Pasadena & Metro A Line ✅ Weekly gardener included in rent ✅ Tiered hillside decks with established garden beds ✅ Walking distance to Farmers Market, dining, and entertainment ✅ Private, serene, and genuinely unlike anywhere else If this sounds like your kind of home, reach out — we’d love to hear a little about you.
