About this home
Surrounded by majestic trees and overlooking Annandale Country Club, 250 N San Rafael Avenue offers a remarkable sense of privacy amid lush gardens and tranquil green outlooks. Shaded patios and garden terraces unfold across nearly half an acre, bringing the beauty and calm of the landscape into everyday life. Spanning approximately 3,410 square feet, generously proportioned, sun-dappled interiors pair perfectly with outdoor spaces that invite both elegant entertaining and quiet retreat. Large picture windows and glass doors frame the surrounding greenery, filling the living spaces with natural light. The spacious living room features tall ceilings, a handsome fireplace, and gorgeous views. Nearby, the family room connects to a central patio, where an indoor-outdoor fireplace enhances the intimate setting for dinner and conversation beneath the trees. The thoughtfully updated kitchen and separate breakfast nook provide a comfortable backdrop for everyday living, while the dining room rests nearby creating an easy flow from meal preparation to entertaining. The home offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an expansive primary suite that opens to a private deck overlooking the peaceful wooded surroundings. A dedicated dressing area and walk-in closet enhance the suite's generous layout, while beautiful stonework brings rich texture and depth to the luxurious, spa-like primary bathroom. Outside, the grounds unfold through a series of gardens, patios, and terraces, each offering a different perspective on the property's natural beauty. Majestic trees create a sheltered atmosphere, lending privacy and a distinctive sense of place. Steps lead to an elevated pool terrace, a secluded destination for afternoon swims and leisurely hours outdoors. With peaceful views across Annandale, a generous single-level layout, and exceptionally beautiful natural surroundings, 250 N San Rafael Avenue invites a life shaped by peaceful mornings, memorable gatherings, and a welcome sense of seclusion.
Linda Vista, located between the Rose Bowl and the Arroyo Seco, is a hillside and residential Pasadena neighborhood with curving view streets and a canyon-edge setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Rose Bowl loop at Seco Street and Rosemont Avenue, where cyclists, walkers, and weekend crowds set a steady outdoor tempo. Mid-century ranch homes and traditional houses sit behind mature landscaping, with occasional modern rebuilds on larger lots. The Arroyo’s trails and open space shape daily routines more than retail corridors. Nearby cultural anchors like the Norton Simon Museum, the Pasadena Playhouse, and the Gamble House add a distinctly Pasadena cadence.
