Experience retro flair and modern luxury at The Arroyo House, a freshly renovated 1969 atomic ranch-style home. Nestled in filming-friendly South Pasadena and steps from the vast Arroyo Seco Park system, this single-story abode serves as the perfect launching pad for your next Los Angeles-based project.
Embracing its unique past as a music school, The Arroyo House is a haven for music enthusiasts. The home is adorned with musical memorabilia and instruments, including a Lyon & Healy baby grand piano, acoustic guitars, a ukulele, Toca congas, and other instruments. Immerse yourself in the rhythm with a Bluetooth-enabled Audio-Technica turntable, Marshall speaker, and a rotating curated collection of vinyl records from the owners' personal stash.
Indulge in the breathtaking views from the front courtyard as the sun sets over Los Angeles. Amidst a garden of succulents and cacti, the outdoor oasis features a tranquil running stream and pond that pays homage to the nearby Arroyo Seco tributary. This serene setting is enhanced with an outdoor dining table, Adirondack loungers, and a cozy tower-style fire pit, creating the perfect ambiance for al fresco relaxation nearly year-round.
The great room, the heart of the home, is a versatile space that can be tailored to your artistic vision. Whether you're seeking a serene spot or a vibrant entertaining space, this room has it all. It features a grand piano lounge with sunset views and a variety of instruments, a 75-inch Sony flatscreen television, an activity center with various games and books, and a gourmet kitchen with vaulted ceilings and a six-burner chef's stove. Dine at the white marble table or the spacious kitchen island, or relax in the rear courtyard dining patio with a ten-seat, nine-foot-long custom cherrywood table and chairs shaded by a handcrafted wood cabana.
Three themed bedrooms await, each offering a cozy escape. The master bedroom, with its plush king bed and en suite bathroom with dual vanity sinks and a stand-up shower, offers a luxurious sanctuary. The two guest bedrooms, each with a queen bed, provide stunning sunset views, adding a touch of tranquility to the living experience. A separate guest bathroom includes a deep soaking tub with a waterfall shower head.
