About 1833 Villa Rica Avenue
At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Pasadena foothills, hidden among mature oaks and winding garden paths, this soulful 1959 Mid-Century feels worlds away. Set on nearly half an acre, the property unfolds like a private nature retreat, where walls of glass frame treetop views and every season becomes part of the home's daily rhythm. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams define the interiors, while hand-poured concrete floors set with tumbled stones and an open living and dining space create an effortless connection to the outdoors. Sunlight filters through the trees throughout the day, and a decorative fireplace and custom floating shelves anchor the heart of the home. A well-appointed chef's kitchen and updated baths blend with the home's original character.Privately situated, the spacious primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, with a vaulted ceiling, room for a sitting area or workspace, and two sets of sliding doors opening directly to the patio and surrounding gardens. A second bedroom sits just off the same hallway, while a flexible third bedroom offers space for guests, a home office, or a creative studio.Outside, the grounds invite you to slow down. Stone and brick pathways weave through the landscape to tucked-away seating areas, an entertaining deck, a tranquil fountain garden, and a fire pit beneath the trees. End the day in the eight-person barrel sauna, cool off under the cold Nordic shower, and take in the glow of professionally designed landscape lighting after sunset. Thoughtful improvements -- high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, updated system
