760 S San Rafael Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105

Hidden behind discreet gates and approached by a long, winding drive through lush greenery, this enchanting Pasadena estate is a love letter to graceful living.... Once a carriage house, it has been beautifully reimagined into an intimate residence where classic California romance meets the quiet polish of modern design. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, drawing you into living and dining spaces made for lingering, framed by towering panes of glass and anchored by a stunning glass-enclosed wine display that turns every dinner into an occasion. The chef's kitchen blends honed marble, high-end appliances, and a generous central island built for slow mornings and candlelit gatherings alike. A private lower-level suite with its own entrance and three-quarter bath opens to serene garden views, ideal for guests, a study, or quiet escape. Upstairs, the primary suite is its own sanctuary: a fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub built for unhurried soaks. Three additional bedrooms complete the upper level. A detached garage, currently permitted as a media room and included in the total living space, offers yet another canvas, a screening room, creative studio, a personal gym, or haven for weekend afternoons. Outside, the grounds unfold into a series of lantern-lit retreats: a sparkling pool with a raised spa, an al fresco stone fireplace for cool evenings, intimate dining and lounging terraces beneath drifting umbrellas, and mature cypress and shade trees that wrap the property in its own private oasis. Stone-edged patios and tucked-away seating nooks invite long, languid afternoons by the water and dinners that drift well past sunset. As dusk settles over Pasadena and the sky blushes pink above the gardens, the home reveals its quietest pleasure: that rare, settled feeling of being exactly where you're meant to be. Offered for lease in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods. MLS ID 26834933 Read More
