About this home
A fully reimagined, multi-level hillside home by Nicole Douglas Designs, defined by craftsmanship, privacy, and its connection to nature. A processional, pavilion-style entry leads through a covered timber passage framed by hand-crafted joinery, descending steps, and filtered light, all signaling a transition into a tranquil retreat. Inside the main house, curved arched doorways and continuous Mullican European White Oak flooring establish a seamless flow between spaces. The kitchen serves as a central gathering point, where materiality and function are thoughtfully designed. A Taj Mahal quartzite island is the focal point, complemented by Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom White Oak Slim Shaker cabinetry, hand-made white oak spice shelves within a carved arched stove hood, integrated vertical wine storage designed for temperature stability, and large windows that bring in abundant natural light. A walk-in pantry is discreetly positioned off the kitchen, providing generous storage and prep capacity. The kitchen opens into the dining area and main living room, where a flame-lit natural gas fireplace finished in Venetian plaster is paired with a solid wood mantel. The primary bedroom is set apart with its own private deck overlooking the grounds. The en-suite bathroom is finished in stone and spa-like tile featuring dual vanities and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The lower level includes 3 additional bedrooms, an office, and a flexible space suitable for a media or family room. A lower-level deck extends the living area outward, creating an ideal setting for a wellness or workout space surrounded by nature. A separate guesthouse includes its own kitchenette, living and dining areas, private balcony, and ensuite bedroom, offering flexibility for guests, creative use, or income opportunities. The backyard is designed as a true extension of the home with terraced pathways, multiple seating areas, mature trees, and a grassy lawn area optimal for entertaining. A rare amenity further distinguishes the property: direct private access to Brookside Park, offering additional walking paths, tennis courts, and recreational areas just beyond the property line. Located in one of Pasadena's most desirable residential pockets, 521 Fremont Drive is moments from the Rose Bowl, Old Town Pasadena, and the best of the city's culture and dining.
