Description
The Francis F. Leupp Residence | Reginald D. Johnson, FAIA, ArchitectA distinguished single-level French Normandy residence in Pasadena's coveted Caltech-Huntington Library district, the historic Francis F. Leupp Residence was designed by noted architect Reginald D. Johnson and thoughtfully reimagined for a sophisticated California lifestyle. Set on more than 29,000 square feet of parklike grounds, this 3/4-bedroom, five-bath home blends architectural pedigree, modern comfort, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.Meticulously renovated and maintained, the residence unfolds with a light-filled, highly livable floor plan designed for both daily ease and gracious entertaining. The grand living room opens through sliding French doors to a broad brick terrace and an extraordinary, award-winning garden beyond. Anchored along the eastern edge by a magnificent redwood, the grounds offer a sparkling pool, and serene garden, creating a rare sense of privacy and retreat in one of Pasadena's most desirable enclaves.The chef's kitchen is appointed with stone countertops, custom illuminated cabinetry, and professional appliances by Sub-Zero, Miele, Wolf, and Bosch. An inviting family room with faux-beamed ceiling, built-in bar, and a fireplace opens to both the kitchen and the outdoor patio. A well-equipped butler's pantry with Sub-Zero beverage refrigerator, and abundant built-ins sit adjacent to a flexible fourth bedroom/office with three-quarter bath and laundry.A handsome library with its own fireplace offers a quiet retreat and thoughtfully separates the public rooms from the home's two private bedroom wings. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, introduced by a vestibule entry and centered around a generous bedroom with sitting area and fireplace. Dual luxurious baths feature stone counters, expansive showers, custom cabinetry, and bespoke California Closets; one bath includes a soaking tub with French doors opening to a private secret garden. The secondary wing offers two spacious en suite bedrooms, each with generous walk-in dressing closets.In addition to the front circular drive, the property includes a recently constructed 680-square-foot detached garage with ceiling height designed to accommodate up to six vehicles, along with an attached approximately 163-square-foot bonus space. The residence offers rare privacy, architectural provenance, and a beautifully composed garden setting in the heart of Pasadena.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe recently moved into the area and originally planned to transfer our kids to the San Marino School District. However, after just two weeks at Hamilton, we knew this was the right school for our family. We absolutely love the diversity here—did you know there are 26 languages represented at Hamilton? The school’s International Fair was a highlight for us, with 19 countries showcasing their food and culture. The strong parent involvement also creates a sense of community and gives the school a feel similar to a private school. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to stay!Parent Review1y ago - Pasadena High School
