Description

Designed in 1924 by renowned architect Roland E. Coate, FAIA, of the distinguished firm Johnson, Kaufmann and Coate, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 6-bath Spanish Colonial Revival estate is located on desirable Hillcrest Avenue in Pasadena's prestigious Langham estate district near the iconic Langham Huntington Hotel. Thoughtfully restored and meticulously maintained, the residence blends historic architectural character with modern comfort.A classic Saltillo-tile entry introduces a gracious, well-balanced floor plan. The impressive living room features dramatic ceiling heights, a stately fireplace, and custom doors opening to the home's signature central courtyard--an enchanting outdoor living space that serves as a natural extension of the residence. With its covered patio, fountain, and generous dining area, the courtyard is ideal for intimate evenings and elegant entertaining. Opposite the living room, a handsome library with a fireplace and a nearby powder room offers a refined retreat.The formal dining room, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace, and Saltillo tile flooring, opens to the courtyard and connects seamlessly to a spectacular gourmet kitchen designed for gathering and everyday living. Featuring a vaulted ceiling, a large center island, abundant cabinetry and counter space, a breakfast area, and an adjoining family room, the kitchen forms the heart of the home. An adjacent bedroom and three-quarter bath provide flexible space for guests, office, or staff. Just beyond, the private outdoor retreat offers a lap pool, spa, fireplace, and outdoor kitchen.Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene escape with a fireplace, light-filled architectural windows, a spacious walk-in closet, and an elegant bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and an oversized shower. Three additional bedrooms--one ensuite and another with its own fireplace--along with an additional bath, complete the second level.The lower level includes a home gym, media room, flexible guest quarters or office, three-quarter bath, and storage.Throughout the residence, Coate's architectural brilliance is evident in the grand proportions, soaring ceilings, elegant arches, custom doors and windows, decorative metalwork, hardwood and hexagonal terra-cotta tile floors, and multiple fireplaces.A gated three-car garage and proximity to Pasadena's shopping, cultural institutions, and major freeways complete this rare offering in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods.

    "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!"
