Nestled on a lush knoll above a quiet drive in the foothills of Highland Park's Hermon enclave on the South Pasadena border, this refined, two-story, 3 BR, 3 BA, 1905 Craftsman Farmhouse proudly holds court over its large double lot with glorious gardens and panoramic views of the San Gabriel mountains.Above street level and beyond a river rock border, the classic SoCal citrus-farm-inspired front garden features fruit trees and drought-tolerant shrubs.Rich character details abound in the dramatic contours of the light-filled living room, boasting high ceilings, casement windows, original oak flooring, built-ins, and an impressive, oversized picture window that exquisitely frames the verdant view. The formal dining room, with its handsome built-in buffet cabinet, wainscoting, and wall of French doors that beckon to the side garden, leads to the bright kitchen, featuring butcher block countertops, cheerful vinyl flooring, a vintage stove, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. A charming sitting room, laundry room, and half bathroom complete the spacious first floor.Upstairs, the 3 gorgeously sunlit bedrooms showcase romantic lines, built-in bookcases and storage nooks, and a shared tiled bathroom. There is a second bathroom adjacent to the master bedroom, currently being utilized as a storage room, that could probably be restored and incorporated into an en suite.The split-level back patio leads the way to the private, massive, Dr Seuss-themed side yard focused on plants with dramatic, whimsical structures and a menagerie of fruit trees (orange, tangerine, lime, lemon, apricot, persimmon, loquat, a large white sapote, young apple, and two different varieties of pomegranate!) Featuring a towering dracaena draco, Australian and South African native shrubs, long river rock planter ideal for an herb garden, multiple entertaining areas, flat play yard, and not another home in sight, this yard is made for fresh cut blooms, views, and star gazing. At the end of the winding rear driveway sits the large parking pad and 2-car garage with EV charger and ADU possibilities.Ideally located adjacent to Mission Street in South Pasadena, Fresco Community Market, Hermon Dog Park, hiking trails, & just minutes to the Figueroa Corridor and Gold Line, the location cannot be beat.
