Entry level of the home has a spacious living room with fireplace that opens to a beautiful terrace with city views. The main level has an updated kitchen, a bedroom and dining area.

Take the steps below to find 3 other bedrooms, all generously sized with 2 baths.

The level below has the washer & dryer area and space that is currently used as an exercise room, but could be easily converted into an office.

Outside the home, there’s a jacuzzi, a bit of land (small, but nice) and a 2-space carport. Overall, a very special house and definitely one to look at if you’re interested in a South Pasadena view home.
