Positioned above the street on a quiet cul-de-sac within one of South Pasadena's only gated communities, this custom Mediterranean estate spans nearly 5,500 square feet and commands sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains and city lights below. With just 20 residences behind its gates, Braewood Estates offers an unparalleled level of privacy rarely found at this scale in the San Gabriel Valley. Built in 2004 by Mur-Sol Construction under the direction of general contractor Daniel Grohsknown for decades of high-end custom residential work across Southern Californiathe home reflects a standard of construction defined by structural integrity, material discipline, and long-term durability. Entry is through custom double doors inlaid with leaded art glass, opening to a two-story foyer anchored by a hand-painted trompe l'oeil mural and rich marble floors featuring intricate mosaic tile medallion inlays bespoke artisan work commissioned specifically for this residence. Formal living and entertaining spaces unfold with natural choreography, including a fireplace-centered living room with a wet bar and coffered ceilings that transitions into a secondary family room before opening to an elevated terrace capturing unobstructed mountain and city light views. The kitchen is designed for both serious cooking and effortless connection with granite countertops, custom cabinetry with glass-front uppers, professional-grade appliances, and a dedicated walk-in pantry, opening directly to the formal dining room and extending outward to a private terrace with a built-in BBQ. A junior primary suite and a dedicated office with an en-suite bath are located on the main level, while a private elevator provides access to all floors. Upstairs, three additional en-suite bedrooms are complemented by the primary suite oriented toward canyon, hillside, and treetop views, complete with a curved rotunda sitting room wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows. The primary bath is finished in full marble, featuring a soaking tub positioned below a view window, a steam shower with mosaic tile detail, dual vanities, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. The lower level includes a flexible gym or studio space with direct access to a two car garage equipped with a Tesla Wall Connector for dedicated EV charging. Modern infrastructure includes a Tesla Powerwall Gateway energy management system, whole-home backup capability, an integrated multi-room speaker system, smart climate control across multiple HVAC zones, and a modern lights system controllable via phone app. Braewood Court falls within the attendance boundaries of the South Pasadena Unified School District, serving Monterey Hills Elementary, South Pasadena Middle School, and South Pasadena High School, which are consistently ranked among the top public schools in California. The location also places residents within minutes of downtown South Pasadena's dining and retail, Garfield Park, and Metro Gold Line access connecting to Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, and beyond. Opportunities at this level within a gated South Pasadena community do not reappear often.
