Looking for something truly different? Tucked away on 1.86 wooded acres, this unique Pasadena home offers the privacy and character of a retreat while still keeping you close to everything. Originally designed as an A-frame, the home showcases soaring cathedral wood ceilings, exposed beams and an abundance of natural light. The dramatic living room is the heart of the home, featuring a two-sided see-through fireplace and a spiral staircase leading to a charming loft overlooking the living space. Warm wood details throughout complement the natural setting and give this home a personality all its own. The kitchen features maple cabinetry, pantry storage, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, built-in microwave, dishwasher, stainless steel backsplash and a refrigerator with water and ice dispenser. There's plenty of room for a table and chairs, and sliding doors lead directly to the deck for easy indoor-outdoor living. The main level offers two secondary bedrooms and a full hall bath, plus a spacious primary suite with its own private bath, steam shower and washer/dryer combination. An atrium door opens to a private porch, while a freestanding gas fireplace adds another cozy touch to the suite. Need room for extended family, guests or a separate living arrangement? The lower level offers an impressive amount of additional space with its own living room, kitchen, den, two bedrooms, two full baths and a separate front-loading washer and dryer. Laminate flooring with radiant heat adds comfort underfoot. Outside is where this property becomes something special. Two porches and a deck provide multiple places to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, while the wooded 1.86-acre lot offers exceptional privacy. Watch deer and fox wander through the property and turtles gather around the pond among the lily pads. A detached two-car garage includes upper-level storage. This isn't your cookie-cutter home. It's a private woodland retreat with space, flexibility and architectural character that's hard to find in Pasadena.
