1203 Romney Drive

Modern, organic with treehouse views this San Rafael Hills home offers architecture and lifestyle in a premium Pasadena locale. Set high above the street to maximize privacy and views, with original pebbletec aggregate floating steps artfully positioned against the terraced front yard, this home's exterior geometry suggests unique volumes inside. A double height entry with soaring trapezoid windows opens to vaulted ceilings, bands of windows and stunning vistas of the San Gabriel Mountains. Natural light is plentiful and softly reflects off of wide plank white oak floors, imparting a sense of space and quiet airiness. A generous living room flows into the dining room with a picture window that frames multiple shades of green and a mountain backdrop. The large renovated kitchen is bathed in light with quartz countertops, sleek white cabinetry and stainless steel sink plus appliances including a sleek Samsung smart fridge and enviable Fisher & Paykel double drawer dishwasher. Conveniently located off the kitchen are a perfectly-sized family room and wide sliding door to the large outdoor patio -- the layout here allows easy entertaining, or everyday living and dining with SoCal style. Three bedrooms enjoy updated and upgraded en-suite baths, each with bragging rights: rain shower heads, generous vanities and sleek fixtures. An extra large garage offers direct access to the home, as well as a separate bonus space to use as a studio, gym, or tucked-away storage. Finally, don't miss the outdoor living room/viewing deck at the top of the backyard - it's a spot to enjoy morning, noon and night. With lifestyle, privacy and a coveted location off of lovely Laguna Road and the South Arroyo, and proximity to restaurants, shopping, and fun in Pasadena and Highland Park, plus easy freeway access, this home is a winner.
