Perfectly positioned at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, 375 La Mirada Avenue offers the rare combination of timeless Spanish Revival architecture, expansive grounds, and a coveted San Marino address that places you at the heart of it all. Just minutes from Alhambra's Old Town, South Pasadena's boutiques and cafes, Old Town Pasadena's vibrant shopping and dining, Caltech, the Huntington Library & Gardens, and the beloved Lacy Park, this estate enjoys a location of unmatched convenience without sacrificing privacy.
The residence itself evokes a sense of history and heritage with arched doorways, wrought iron accents, French doors, and hardwood floors, yet has been thoughtfully updated to today's standards with a major remodel that includes modernized systems, curated finishes, and expanded living spaces. The interiors are anchored by a chef's kitchen--a true centerpiece featuring marble countertops, a substantial center island, premium appliances, and a bright breakfast nook flowing into the inviting family room. A dramatic step-down living room with grand picture window, elegant dining room, and a serene primary suite with fireplace and balcony capture the elegance of a bygone era, while a downstairs bedroom with direct patio access offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Outdoors, the property unfolds like a national park-inspired private garden, with sweeping lawns, mature landscaping, patios for entertaining, and even a private sports court. Zoned to the award-winning San Marino Unified School District, consistently ranked among California's best, this residence is more than a home--it is a timeless legacy. With its rare combination of vintage elegance, thoughtful modern updates, unrivaled location, and sweeping, park-like grounds, 375 La Mirada Avenue offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a private sanctuary that captures the very essence of Southern California luxury living.
