A rare LEASE opportunity to live in the exclusive Brookmere enclave in southwest Pasadena. The Brookmere enclave is a small, gated community located in the San Rafael Hills area of southwest Pasadena. This private neighborhood comprises only 19... residences, spread across 21 acres, overlooking the tranquil, private Johnson Lake. Originally a natural spring-fed pond, Johnson Lake was expanded in 1876 by Prudent Beaudry, a former mayor of Los Angeles. Pass through the private gates into the prestigious San Rafael Hills and discover this welcoming single-story, mid-century home perched on the hillside steps from the historic three-acre lake. Enjoy picnics beneath the sycamores in the grassy meadow, take a peaceful row on the lake, or relax by the inviting oversized pool in a serene, woodsy setting that feels like a private country club. One of only 19 homes in this historic gated enclave, this traditional hillside residence sits on an expansive 18,000-square-foot lot and features three bedrooms and two baths, including a spacious primary suite with a dressing area and full bath. Classic built-in closets, an additional office or study, and a generous living room with a brick fireplace and large picture windows frame north-facing views of Mount Wilson and the San Gabriel Mountains. The galley kitchen includes a breakfast bar and a pass-through to the formal dining area, while the light-filled family room offers picturesque views of the lake and mountains, ideal space for a breakfast room, artist's studio, or retreat. Beautiful hardwood floors and timeless 1950s details throughout complete this exceptional lease opportunity in one of Pasadena's most sought-after private communities. MLS# 25605921 Read More
