Description
Arriving on the market for the first time in years, this special 1925 Tudor home occupies one of Pasadena's most sought-after enclaves and offers something increasingly rare: historic integrity and modern livability in genuine balance. Included in the sale is an adjacent 7,900 sq ft parcel, which could present an extraordinary opportunity to expand the property into a true private compound. Inside the home, original hardwood floors have been thoughtfully restored rather than replaced. Light moves generously through each room, dissolving the boundary between indoor and outdoor in the way only California architecture at its best can. Every update has been made with restraint and intention, honoring the home's craftsmanship while delivering the comfort today's buyer expects. The backyard unfolds as a genuine retreat: a pool at its center, designed equally for quiet mornings and effortless gatherings. A lower-level pool room with its own private entrance adds versatility and could be used as a guest suite, in-law quarters, or an income-producing residence. The home has also performed as a luxury short-term rental with a consistent five-star record, a testament to its presentation and appeal. Meanwhile the adjacent parcel invites vision: a tennis court, yoga retreat, or curated gardens are among the possibilities (buyer to verify permitted uses). Practical highlights also include approximately 600 sq ft of additional garage and basement storage space, and 2025 improvements such as a new garage door, dishwasher, and updated air conditioning to ensure a move-in-ready experience from day one. A home of history, presence, and real possibility. Thoughtfully preserved. Beautifully evolved. Ready for its next chapter.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family is proud to say that the third generation is now attending John Muir High School Early College Magnet in Pasadena, CA—and with good reason. This school has been a pillar of excellence, growth, and opportunity for our family and the entire community.John Muir High School Early College Magnet is truly a gem. Over the past several years, it has consistently delivered on its promise to provide both a strong high school education and the incredible opportunity for students to earn college credits—many even graduate with multiple Associate of Arts degrees by the time they finish high school. That’s right: students are leaving Muir not just with their high school diploma, but with college degrees in hand. This is a game-changer for families and students alike.The dedication of the teachers, staff, and administrators is second to none. They are passionate, supportive, and deeply invested in the success of every student. The programs here go beyond academics—they build character, confidence, and real-world skills.We are deeply grateful to have such an innovative and forward-thinking school in our community. John Muir High School Early College Magnet continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for our family, and we look forward to seeing future generations thrive here.Other Review1y ago - Octavia E.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExtremely chaotic. Students are disrespectful to teachers. Have little concern for learning. At times kids are running around wild. Feel that teachers don't really care about the situation or just feel things are just out of control.Other Review1mo ago - Washington Accelerated Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been at WESM now for 3 years and could not be happier. The staff and teachers are all very caring and my son with learning disabilities is enjoying school and loves the teachers. They have a new Environmental Sciences program that he especially loves as he gets to work with materials like clay, and recycled materials, and 2nd grade classes are working in groups to build tiny sustainable cities, and learning about the materials they can use. They also have a new Spanish Language program that also deals with the culture of different countries, and he can now tell you all about the Bolivian Salt flats and more! They are adding some really engaging murals for the kids to enjoy, the playground is getting upgrades, and some native trees have been planted that will add more natural shade for the kids in years to come. They have a stem lab and math lab also, have upgraded their phonics and language curriculums, are a community school and have a dedicated staff member for that along with social workers, RSL, speech therapists, Special Ed classes with amazing teachers and more. A new PTA has been created and the school also does monthly family fun nights to engage the community. We are looking forward to the next 3 years at Washington Elementary Stem Magnet.Parent Review2y ago
