About this home
Nestled in one of South Pasadena's most sought-after pockets, 407 Alta Vista Avenue is an artful hillside retreat offering a rare sense of privacy, tranquility, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Spanning 2,398 square feet across two thoughtfully separated levels, the entry floor opens to a sun-drenched living and dining room anchored by a white brick fireplace, with Saltillo tile floors flowing into a warm chef's kitchen featuring stainless appliances, custom wood cabinetry, and a peninsula with pendant lighting. The sliding glass doors open to a covered redwood veranda overlooking a verdant treetop canopy and mountain sight-lines. The lower level expands the home's flexibility with a spacious family room, additional bedrooms, and its own full kitchen, equipped with crisp white cabinetry, quartz counters, glass tile backsplash, and a chef's island. A wall of sliding glass opens to a second wraparound deck where a freestanding soaking tub framed by flowing curtains and Moroccan lanterns crowns a spa-like outdoor sanctuary. The setup is ideal for multigenerational living, a long-term guest suite, or a private creative studio. The backyard offers a private, zen like retreat centered around a mature fig tree with a built-in daybed nook sits tucked beneath the deck, surrounded by gravel pathways and hanging lanterns. At the street, a Spanish-tiled entry courtyard adds a final quiet, artistic touch. Set in the heart of one of greater Los Angeles' most beloved walkable communities moments from Mission Street, the South Pasadena Farmers' Market, the Gold/A Line Metro, and the city's top-ranked public schools. Located within the award-winning South Pasadena school district and moments from Mission Street, South Pasadena Farmers' Market, Trader Joe's, and Garfield Park.
