675 Shafter Way

Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Oak Hill Estates, this Spanish-inspired traditional home occupies an enviable perch, with sweeping 180-degree views across the city. Inside, the house is defined by volume and light: soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and a thoughtful renovation. The main living spaces flow naturally toward the backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Glass doors open onto the pergola-shaded terrace, where a long built-in bench invites you to sit back and watch the sunset. The bright kitchen is at the heart of the main floor, with a large enamel farmhouse sink overlooking the greenery and surrounding landscape. The first floor also includes a central den and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite feels like a private retreat, with a spa bathtub, dedicated vanity area, dream walk-in closet, and expansive views across the city and toward the mountains. Two additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with its own bath. At the center of the floor, an open bonus room provides exceptional flexibility as an office, lounge, or playroom. A dedicated, beautifully finished laundry room completes this level. The adaptability continues downstairs, where an additional room just off the oversized garage can serve as a gym, studio, office, or playroom. With doors opening directly to the backyard, it feels less like an afterthought than an extension of the house and garden. This home is one of the rare properties within the Oak Hill community to offer such a large, private garden. Beautifully landscaped with lavender, olive trees, and a broad expanse of lawn, the grounds offer plenty of room to enjoy as they are today, while leaving multiple possibilities for the future, including the potential to add a pool. Tucked between Montecito Heights, South Pasadena, and Highland Park, it manages to feel removed from the pace of the city while remaining remarkably connected to it. Highland Park's restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores are close by, while Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, the 110, the South Pasadena Farmers' Market, nearby hiking trails, and Metro stations are all remarkably accessible.
