About this property
Tucked away in Pasadena's San Rafael Hills, this distinctive California Swiss Chalet, designed by architect Paul Roy Grynick, is offered for the first time since it was built in 1975. With approximately 2,667 square feet on a 12,926 square foot lot, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a unique home with architectural character. The main level features an open floor plan highlighted by dramatic exposed beam and wood ceilings, expansive windows, and abundant natural light. The living room, dining area, family room with fireplace, kitchen, and all 3 bedrooms are located on this level, with the living spaces opening to expansive covered decking that extends the home outdoors and provides wonderful space for entertaining, along with fruit trees on the rear hillside. The lower level offers a large multifunctional bonus room with a corner fireplace, ideal for a game room, home office, fitness room, art studio, or additional living space. An attached 2-car garage plus carport and generous driveway provide ample off-street parking. With its distinctive architecture, functional floor plan, generous lot, and peaceful setting, this is a rare opportunity to create something truly special, just minutes from Pasadena's dining, shopping, recreation, and entertainment.

Payment calculator
Explore a fixed-rate loan scenario. The price comes from this listing; a 20% down payment and 30-year term are starting assumptions, not requirements. Enter your own interest rate—not APR—and estimated costs.
Illustration only—not a rate quote, preapproval, lending offer or affordability determination. Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
