105 Sequoia

Nestled in the lush greenery of the San Rafael Hills, 105 Sequoia is a home that stops you in your tracks and makes it tough to ever want to leave. Sun-soaked rooms open to sprawling green views that dissolve into a distant city skyline, with an energy that's equal parts elevated and lived-in. Fully reimagined in 2021 and thoughtfully refined since, this 1948 modern spans three levels with over 4,000 square feet, five bedrooms, and six baths, designed for people who entertain, retreat, and do both well. The main level is the heart of it. Twenty-foot ceilings soar above the open living and dining rooms, where light moves through the space all day and the views stretch endlessly beyond. A statement wet bar anchors one end while the chef's kitchen anchors the other, with a six-burner range, professional refrigerator and freezer, wine fridge, and an oversized waterfall island that's as functional as it is beautiful. Tucked privately off the kitchen, an en-suite bedroom works beautifully as staff quarters or a guest retreat, depending on how you live. Upstairs, three en-suite bedrooms each feel intentional. The primary is a genuine sanctuary with a spa bath, custom closet, and a quiet that's hard to find this close to the city. One additional bedroom opens to its own private balcony with views that make mornings worth waking up for. The lower level adds range. A family room with dry bar, a fifth bedroom currently outfitted as a gym, a full bath, and a dedicated dog wash station. Sliding doors open directly to the backyard, where a deck catches the sunset, terraced gardens grow fragrant with rosemary and mature fruit trees, and a bocce court waits at the bottom of the hill. Minutes from the Rose Bowl, Old Town Pasadena, Eagle Rock, Highland Park, and Downtown LA. This is San Rafael Hills of Pasadena at its best.
