Description

Graciously sited on 4.19 majestic acres in the coveted area of Southwest Pasadena, this grand architectural estate with lighted tennis court and pool with commanding views on the banks of the Arroyo ranks as one of the largest residential parcels in Pasadena. Positioned at the furthest point of the street for optimal privacy - the brick and iron gated entrance, vast lawn and motor drive provides a royal approach to the residence designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Johnson, Kaufmann & Coate. Slightly elevated, this stately 1924 English Period Revival masterwork of concrete, brick clad and a pitched slate roof acts as a prominent focal point for visitors. Period fenestration, distinguished by leaded-glass windows wash interiors with soft, natural light. The formal entrance hall provides convenient access to both the public and private spaces, as well as the discrete powder room, rear patio loggia and yard. Formal living room, anchored with its cast concrete fireplace encased in exquisite wood paneling, formed concrete ceiling beams and french doors to the outdoors. The adjacent den provides for more casual lounging - with copious natural light and fireplace. Opposite, the dining room also provides exterior access and direct connection to the butler's pantry and adjoining chef's kitchen - both updated for more modern living. Breakfast room, den, guest bedroom with bath complete the first level. An elegant U-shaped stairwell highlighted by an oversized tudor picture window leads to a second level landing and secret 'Elevette' elevator that rises from the floor. Spacious primary bedroom with fireplace provides proprietary access to an outdoor balcony deck for viewing and respite. Upstairs guest bedroom with bathroom ensuite, as well as two additional bedrooms with a jack & jill bathroom configuration. The grand entertaining rear yard spills down to the heated swimmer's pool, spa and party deck on the edge of the Arroyo bluff - all taking advantage of the arresting views of Pasadena's Arroyo Seco, the Colorado Bridge and the San Gabriel mountains beyond. Oversized garage, as well as laundry and abundant storage on the lower level.
