About this House

Built in 1954 and sited on over a quarter of an acre of mature grounds in the prestigious Oak Knoll/Langham district of Pasadena, this Mid-Century California Lifestyle 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with architectural treasures personifies the California Lifestyle at its best. Welcome to noted architect William Field Staunton, Jr.s finest Southern California architectural treasure. Staunton, who worked with Myron Hunt before opening his own practice, is known for many architectural designs to include the beautiful Malaga Cove Plaza in Palos Verdes Estates. Stauntons impeccable and original use of wood, to include Philippine Mahogany, Douglas Fir and Red Oak, as well as stone, brick and glass, combine to form this strikingly gracious California-lifestyle home we affectionately call Serenity House. Pride of ownership is evident throughout this beautiful homes interior and exterior spaces. The unique living "great" room with gleaming Red Oak floors and an impressive 45-foot-long tongue and groove Philippine Mahogany ceiling is complemented by strategically placed Travertine marble fireplace, which together with a wall of floor-to-ceiling wood-framed sliding glass doors, magically melds the indoor and outdoor spaces. All of the spacious bedroom suites offer plentiful closet space and an abundance of light and open by way of sliding doors into the gardens. The third bedroom suite, which also functions as a convertible den, features a brick fireplace, built-in bookcases and two oversized closets. The kitchen offers a large butlers pantry with plentiful cupboards, drawers and closets as well as ample counter space and a breakfast area that opens to a stone patio and lovely gardens. The adjacent service porch/laundry room offers convenient direct access to the attached 2-car garage. Framed by mature specimen trees to include Sycamore, Japanese Red Maple, Gingko, Magnolia and California Coastal Oak. The professionally designed and planted gardens are a tranquil haven.

    "Even though people are good about picking up their dogs’ poo, not everyone is a responsible dog owner. I rarely ever see any leash-less dogs. However, some people claim their dogs are service dogs when they’re out of control. Most places here do not like big dogs in the complexes. "

    "This is an absolute amazing neighborhood! It is not the type where your neighbors stay inside all day and never come out, or the type who are always nosy. It is perfect! At night there is no parties going on until like 3:00 or anything! It is quiet and nice, in the morning the birds are tweeting and you see people walking their dogs, biking, or just jogging! I totally recommend this neighborhood!"
