*** Why You’ll Love It ***
-Backyard Paradise
The backyard is the heart of the home—lush, tranquil, and remarkably private. Surrounded by tropical foliage and flowering plants, it offers multiple places to lounge, dine, or swim. With views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the space feels expansive yet intimate—and even more magical in person than photos suggest.

-Private Pool with Waterfall
Cool off in the pool, unwind in the hot tub under the stars, or enjoy the soothing sound of the waterfall. Framed by mature landscaping, the outdoor space feels like your own hidden resort.

-Beautiful Interiors
Inside, the home is filled with natural light, original artwork, and thriving indoor plants that echo the greenery outdoors. Large living-room windows frame views of the garden and pool, blurring the line between inside and out.

-Flexible Layout
Three bedrooms—including one with a separate entrance—offer flexibility for couples, small groups, or families who value both togetherness and privacy.

***Important to Know***
This is our primary residence, and when guests book, we step away so they can enjoy the home fully. We host thoughtfully—preparing the space with care and sharing it with guests who value privacy, beauty, and respect for a well-loved home.

The house is best suited for those seeking rest and relaxation rather than entertaining. If you’re looking for a peaceful, design-forward escape—not a place to host gatherings—you’ll feel right at home here.


This Space Is Perfect For:
-Guests seeking a quiet, private escape that feels far from the city—without actually leaving it
-Couples, small friend groups, or families with older kids who appreciate a calm, comfortable home base
-Digital nomads craving a garden-surrounded work-cation (with fast Wi-Fi and an ergonomic workstation)

***In Summary***
Whether you’re gathering with family, working remotely, or simply unwinding by the pool, Solbird Pasadena offers a rare blend of privacy, greenery, and thoughtful design.
