General Overview

This charming 1924 Pasadena home was designed by architect Harold L., who served as chief engineer at both Caltech and Southern California Edison. Harold was also a renowned printmaker, and his artistic vision is visible throughout the property — from the handcrafted ironwork and original light fixtures to the stunning tigerwood oak floors he personally designed. The home features three bedrooms and has been extensively remodeled to combine historic character with modern comfort. Amenities include updated bathrooms, a fully renovated kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, security cameras, and a beautifully landscaped patio perfect for dining or relaxing outdoors. Located in one of Pasadena’s most walkable and picturesque neighborhoods, the home is just minutes from Caltech, the Huntington Gardens, the Rose Bowl, and a variety of restaurants, cafés, and cultural attractions. The community is warm and welcoming — our neighbors are close friends and are happy to greet and support guests during their stay. Whether you're on sabbatical, seeking sunshine, or simply exploring life in Southern California, this home offers an inspiring, peaceful place to land.

Darin

We’re an energetic, creative couple in our 50s based in Pasadena, California, just outside of Los Angeles. Our home is located in a leafy, walkable neighborhood near Caltech and the Huntington Gardens — it’s a peaceful retreat with great access to all that Southern California has to offer. We’ve worked for many years in branding and marketing, and now we’re entering a new chapter of life with a desire to explore the world more slowly and meaningfully. We love the idea of living like locals, connecting with other cultures, and experiencing everyday life in new places. We enjoy cooking, photography, swimming, and visiting museums, cafés, and outdoor markets. We're equally happy exploring small villages or just lingering over coffee and conversation. We’re respectful and conscientious guests
