South Pasadena, CA 91030

The Monarch at Braewood Estates the crown jewel of one of South Pasadena's only gated communities. With just 20 residences behind its gates, this enclave is both intimate and exclusive. As the largest home in the community, this custom Mediterranean masterpiece commands attention with nearly 5,500 square feet of refined living, 5 suites, 5.5 baths, and a remarkably low HOA. From the moment you enter, elegance surrounds you. Marble floors, a hand-painted mural, and intricate wainscoting details that extend across the ceilings set the tone, highlighted by soft recessed lighting. The formal living room, anchored by a fireplace and wet bar, flows seamlessly into the family room and opens to an elevated setting above the street framing dramatic views of the San Gabriel Mountains and city lights. The chef's kitchen pairs form and function with granite counters, custom cabinetry, a 5-burner range, and walk-in pantry. It connects effortlessly to the formal dining room and a private patio with built-in BBQ perfect for al fresco dining and year round entertaining. A junior primary suite and a dedicated office on the main level add versatility, while a private elevator ensures effortless access across all floors. French doors flood nearly every room with natural light, opening to balconies that wrap the home in views. Upstairs, soaring ceilings and walls of glass amplify the scale and grandeur. Three en-suite bedrooms await, including the primary retreat with sweeping canyon vistas. The spa inspired bath is a sanctuary with glass barn doors, marble encased soaking tub, steam shower, and dual vanities designed for daily indulgence. The lower level offers a private gym (convertible to a studio or storage), plus a two-car garage. Tech-forward living is enhanced by a Tesla Gateway 3V with PowerShare, a next-generation system that automatically balances energy between the grid, the home, and even a connected Cybertruck during outages delivering resilience, efficiency, and peace of mind. Beyond the home, The Monarch embodies the best of South Pasadena living. Families are drawn to its award-winning schools, walkable downtown, and vibrant community spirit. Stroll to weekly farmers markets, boutique shops, and celebrated dining from local favorites like Gus's BBQ to the newly opened Cannonball Bistro. Parks, trails, and summer concerts bring outdoor leisure to your doorstep, while the nearby Metro A Line and 110 freeway put Downtown Los Angeles less than 10 miles away an unmatched blend of access and privacy. Perched above the street with commanding views, The Monarch is more than a residence. It is a rare opportunity to own a home of scale, craftsmanship, and distinction in one of LA's most beloved communities.
