LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Nestled within a highly coveted, top-rated 10/10 school district, this private hillside sanctuary offers a rare blend of elegance, versatility, and future potential. Spanning approximately 2,651 square feet on a generous 9,060 square foot lot, this thoughtfully designed residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a flexible bonus room that can easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, gym, or creative studio. Originally remodeled in 2013 and recently refreshed with new flooring and fresh interior paint, the home seamlessly combines modern comfort with timeless Mediterranean-inspired charm. Warm, inviting living spaces are complemented by abundant natural light, scenic views, and a sense of tranquility rarely found in such a central location. A truly distinctive feature of the home is its multi-level design, with each floor offering its own entrance, living area, and private deck. This unique layout creates exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, extended guest accommodations, or the potential to occupy one level while generating rental income from another. The home's design also lends itself well to the future addition of an elevator, providing enhanced accessibility and long-term convenience. Wake each morning to sweeping hillside vistas and the gentle sound of birdsong. Thoughtfully designed terraced pathways enhance privacy, safety, and serenity, creating a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away while remaining close to everything South Pasadena has to offer. The expansive outdoor terrace is an extraordinary feature for a hillside property, offering endless possibilities for recreation and entertaining. Envision a basketball court, pickleball court, resort-style pool, sunroom, outdoor kitchen, garden retreat, or even a custom treehouse—all set against a backdrop of natural beauty and breathtaking views. Situated across two lots, this exceptional property also presents remarkable development potential, with the possibility to build up to four homes (buyer to verify with the city). Whether you're seeking a private residence, multi-generational compound, income-producing opportunity, or future development project, this property offers a truly rare combination of lifestyle, flexibility, and investment potential. More than just a home, this is a rare canvas for elevated living, creativity, and lasting value in one of South Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods.
