About this home

Welcome to Oak & Maple, a Pasadena home set on more than half an acre in the Arroyo area. Surrounded by mature trees and beautiful views, the property offers a peaceful setting that feels remarkably removed from the city. An approximately 100-year-old Japanese maple stands at the front of the property, while the backyard unfolds beneath a canopy of mature trees, creating a private, wooded setting with views of the surrounding hills. Inside, the home is arranged across two levels, offering a flexible floor plan with plenty of room to spread out. The main level features generous living and dining spaces, hardwood floors, original details, and a fireplace. Large windows fill the rooms with natural light and frame the surrounding views. Downstairs, three additional bedrooms and a den with a second fireplace provide versatile living space, ideal for guests, a home office, a media room, or simply a little extra room for everyone. Outdoor living is equally inviting. A long covered balcony stretches across the rear of the upper level, offering a wonderful place to relax and take in the views. Below, a patio opens to the expansive grounds, where towering trees create a sense of privacy and seclusion that's increasingly difficult to find. Lovingly held by the same family for many years, Oak & Maple is ready for its next chapter. The home offers an opportunity to update and personalize its interiors while preserving the character and setting that make it special. Located in Pasadena's distinctive Arroyo area, the property is close to the Arroyo Seco, Rose Bowl, Brookside, Old Pasadena, and a wide range of dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation. Yet at home, the surroundings feel peaceful and tucked away. With its generous living spaces, beautiful views, and remarkable setting, Oak & Maple offers a rare opportunity to create something truly your own.
