About this home
Known as the landmarked 'Adobe Eulalia Perez,' this 1924 Spanish Colonial Revival adobe is a rare, gated sanctuary in the heart of South Pasadena, offering extraordinary indoor-outdoor living and authentic architectural character. Hidden behind original walls and a secured entry, the home opens into a private courtyard setting that feels like a tucked-away European village, peaceful, romantic, and completely removed from the street.The main residence features a well appointed 1 bedroom and 1 bath with vaulted ceilings, original beams, details, and preserved period flooring, all carefully maintained and thoughtfully updated to honor the home's historic integrity while providing modern comforts. A beautiful galley-style kitchen serves as the heart of the home, offering refined counters, abundant character, and seating for up to four at the counter, flowing naturally to the dining area and a dramatic sunken living room anchored by a rejuvenated original fireplace.The covered courtyard, over 900 square feet, functions as a true extension of the living space, ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat. Highlights include an outdoor fireplace, Jacuzzi, lounge and dining areas, and a private outdoor shower, creating a resort-like atmosphere year-round.A separate guest quarters just off the courtyard provides exceptional flexibility, complete with a Murphy-bed sleeping area, kitchenette, dining nook, and bath, perfect for guests, an art or music studio, home office, or meditation space.A truly special offering for a single professional, young couple, or empty nesters seeking architect
