Description
With its stunning architecture, coveted address in Upper Linda Vista, and beautifully-designed outdoor spaces, 1897 Braemar Rd is a secluded Pasadena treasure for those with discerning taste. Designed by esteemed Bel-Air architect Aleck Dugally, whose clients included Sylvester Stallone, Denzel Washington, and Sumner Redstone, this Contemporary Tuscan Villa stands apart with inspired details and a deeply peaceful setting. A grand foyer with a soaring ceiling offers an exquisite welcome. Sunlight pours in from the massive skylight overhead, illuminating the sumptuous travertine floors and offering a prelude to the elegance that awaits within. You'll instantly appreciate how Dugally's semi-open concept layout strikes the perfect balance between spaciousness and separation. The foyer adjoins both the dining room on the right and the sunken living room, which rests straight ahead. The latter offers the perfect setting for an intimate concerto or book reading. A chef-worthy kitchen features a cork floor, top-tier German appliances, and gorgeous wood cabinets. Wrapped in windows and boasting a radiant skylight, this dream kitchen overlooks the breakfast area-your sunlit spot for mindful mornings. Casual relaxation is always on offer in the inviting family room, which includes a large fireplace that creates the perfect ambiance during the winter months. Two bedrooms share a dual-vanity hallway bathroom, while the expansive primary suite is privately tucked on its own wing. This serene retreat is complete with a luxurious spa bath, walk-in closet, and French doors opening to the patio. Step out to your secluded outdoor haven shaded by a Walpole pergola and offering stunning views of the lush greenery in the canyon below. As beautiful as the home's interiors are, its outdoor spaces are equally impressive with expansive patios and decks wrapping all around. The main backyard space showcases modern art in a gorgeous natural setting, with striking abstract sculptures and a statement water feature set amidst lush plantlife. Additional outdoor amenities include a fireplace and numerous lounging areas. The attached two-car garage includes a workshop and an 800-bottle wine cellar to house your collection. A one-of-a-kind residence that imbues your days with beauty and peacefulness, 1897 Braemar is not to be missed.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family is proud to say that the third generation is now attending John Muir High School Early College Magnet in Pasadena, CA—and with good reason. This school has been a pillar of excellence, growth, and opportunity for our family and the entire community.John Muir High School Early College Magnet is truly a gem. Over the past several years, it has consistently delivered on its promise to provide both a strong high school education and the incredible opportunity for students to earn college credits—many even graduate with multiple Associate of Arts degrees by the time they finish high school. That’s right: students are leaving Muir not just with their high school diploma, but with college degrees in hand. This is a game-changer for families and students alike.The dedication of the teachers, staff, and administrators is second to none. They are passionate, supportive, and deeply invested in the success of every student. The programs here go beyond academics—they build character, confidence, and real-world skills.We are deeply grateful to have such an innovative and forward-thinking school in our community. John Muir High School Early College Magnet continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for our family, and we look forward to seeing future generations thrive here.Other Review1y ago - Octavia E.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExtremely chaotic. Students are disrespectful to teachers. Have little concern for learning. At times kids are running around wild.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been at WESM now for 3 years and could not be happier. The staff and teachers are all very caring and my son with learning disabilities is enjoying school and loves the teachers. They have a new Environmental Sciences program that he especially loves as he gets to work with materials like clay, and recycled materials, and 2nd grade classes are working in groups to build tiny sustainable cities, and learning about the materials they can use. They also have a new Spanish Language program that also deals with the culture of different countries, and he can now tell you all about the Bolivian Salt flats and more! They are adding some really engaging murals for the kids to enjoy, the playground is getting upgrades, and some native trees have been planted that will add more natural shade for the kids in years to come. They have a stem lab and math lab also, have upgraded their phonics and language curriculums, are a community school and have a dedicated staff member for that along with social workers, RSL, speech therapists, Special Ed classes with amazing teachers and more. A new PTA has been created and the school also does monthly family fun nights to engage the community. We are looking forward to the next 3 years at Washington Elementary Stem Magnet.Parent Review2y ago
