On Kolle Avenue, the character of South Pasadena comes through in the quieter rhythms of residential life: tree-lined streets, established homes, and a neighborhood where daily routines unfold close to the places that give the city its identity. The setting reflects a part of South Pasadena where architecture and community are closely intertwined, with individual homes contributing to a broader sense of continuity along the street.
1234 Kolle Ave sits within that residential context, offering a perspective on how a home becomes part of the life of a neighborhood rather than existing apart from it. Kolle Avenue is surrounded by a mix of long-established residences, creating a streetscape that feels distinctly lived-in and connected to the city's history.
That relationship between home and neighborhood is central to the character of South Pasadena real estate. Here, the appeal of a place is often found in the everyday details—the walk along a familiar street, the architectural character of neighboring homes, and the sense of community that develops over time.
Set in the hills of South Pasadena, this stylishly updated contemporary two-story home offers a thoughtfully designed floor plan with inviting indoor-outdoor living and multiple spaces for entertaining. A stone-accented staircase winds upward to the entry balcony and first level, creating a distinctive arrival experience. The front door opens to a formal entry with a convenient laundry closet and direct access to the spacious primary suite. The primary bedroom features an attached full bath and direct access to the rear yard, offering a private connection to the beautifully terraced outdoor spaces. Upstairs, an open-concept living and dining area is filled with natural light and opens to a second front balcony. The well-appointed kitchen overlooks both the living space and backyard, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second level. The secluded, terraced backyard is designed for gathering and relaxation, with a multitude of distinct outdoor spaces. A covered deck extends directly from the kitchen, while a pergola-covered deck sits beside the beautifully designed pool and spa. At the top of the property, an additional gathering area provides expansive views overlooking the entire backyard. With its contemporary design, versatile layout, modern updates, multiple balconies and decks, and exceptional outdoor amenities, this hillside retreat offers a unique South Pasadena lifestyle. Close to South Pasadena's award winning Blue Ribbon Schools, shops, restaurants and much more!
