The grounds at 1010 Sycamore were originally the country's first ostrich farm, a tourist attraction forged by Edwin Cawston in 1886. Though the farm closed in 1935, most of the original brick structure remained in tact and was completely reinvisioned in 2006. Now as South Pasadena's Cultural Landmark #18, The Ostrich Farm is known for live/work lofts that offer an elusive combination of industrial chic set against an idyllic suburban backdrop. Unit 212 boasts high ceilings, cool concrete, and casement windows that let in floods of natural light. George Nelson pendant lights hang from the exposed steel beams, and the bathroom features a rain shower and a floor laid with natural stones imported from Bali. This serene space includes a tranquil bamboo lined balcony, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. The complex is home to a uniquely creative community, since each loft carries the opportunity to function as a residence, a workspace, or both. 1010 Sycamore is midway between the South Pas and Highland Park metro stations, giving you quick and easy access to the Mission District, the Figueroa corridor, two weekly farmers' markets, excellent schools, and innumerable neighborhood favorites that give South Pas its specific charm.
