Description
Designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Ainsworth, Angel & McClellan, with landscape architecture by Kenneth S. Nakaba, this architecturally significant residence is tucked within Pasadena's coveted San Rafael neighborhood. Influenced by both California modernism and Japanese architecture, the home is defined by warm redwood detailing, smooth plaster walls, expansive walls of glass, and a timeless palette of wood, custom millwork, and travertine. With its strong architectural framework and enduring design, the residence presents a rare opportunity for thoughtful restoration while remaining true to its original vision. The living spaces open to lush, park-like surroundings framed by mature trees, sculptural landscaping, and winding garden pathways. A pool, spa, and multiple outdoor entertaining areas are seamlessly integrated into the landscape, creating a tranquil outdoor setting with exceptional scale and opportunity for thoughtful enhancement. Designed as a private sanctuary, the primary suite features a dramatic skylight, intimate sitting area, and spa-inspired bathroom. Separate guest quarters offer remarkable independence and flexibility, complete with a living room, dining area, full kitchen, and spacious bedroom, making them ideal for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire a residence of such architectural significance in such a coveted setting. With its strong architectural pedigree, timeless material palette, exceptional bones, and remarkable setting, the home offers a rare opportunity to thoughtfully restore and elevate a significant work of architecture while shaping its next chapter.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had a wonderful experience so far at Blair. The Ovations Theatre program is outstanding -- they do a Shakespeare play every year, including text analysis that in my opinion is at a college level. The IB program is excellent preparation for college work, and college admissions officers know this (Blair grads get into amazing universities)!Parent Review1mo ago - McKinley School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a student, my time at McKinley was a bit short of expectation. It was the first school I attended after moving to the US and I immediately encountered bullying. I was placed in a class with english speaking children and was put behind Duolingo while everyone else did their activities, which made me fall behind. Moving up grades I became more proficient. I wasn’t any trouble, so often times one of my teachers would send me to accompany another student to the bathroom as the instructor was afraid the student would ditch instead. Thinking about it now, it’s a very odd system. I would also often get cussed out by the students even though it was not my fault. I also witnessed foul language being said towards teachers, and a teacher even quit halfway through the year due to the bullying coming from the students. Not a fun school.Other Review3y ago
