Welcome to a truly historic estate nestled in the prestigious San Rafael Hills neighborhood of Pasadena, located on one of the city's most sought-after streets. A generous 5,392 square feet of indoor space and a 30,000+ square foot lot bring the larger-than-life feel to reality. Designed with the finest attention to detail by renowned architects Marston, Van Pelt, & Maybury, this stunning residence exudes timeless elegance and modern sophistication. Originally built in 1924, this Mediterranean-style home incorporates touches of Regency design from the 1940s, seamlessly blending old-world charm with modern flair. The estate is thoughtfully set back from the iconic South San Rafael Avenue, offering breathtaking views of the Arroyo Seco. Spanning nearly three-quarters of a flat acre, the grounds are perfect for grand entertaining, featuring two sweeping grassy lawns, a pickleball court, and a swimmer's pool complete with a bar cabana and changing room, creating an atmosphere of luxury and relaxation. The front entryway opens to a grand reception foyer that welcomes you into the home. From there, you are guided to a formal living room anchored by a fireplace and an elegant dining room with a pass-through cocktail nook. There is a large powder room and another full bathroom on the ground floor. These spaces are enriched with crafted moldings, oversized windows, and French doors that open to a fifty-foot viewing and sitting room with stunning treetop views. The chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, boasting generous cabinet space, quartzite countertops, a new 48" Viking Tuscany range, two SubZero refrigerators, and more, opening onto a private veranda. There is a small open breezeway leading to a workshop and two-car garage. A paneled library/den with an adjacent powder room sits near the gorgeous staircase leading to the second floor, which offers a flexible layout. Upstairs, there are two primary bedroom suites accessed from the central landing, two additional bedrooms, an enclosed study/bedroom porch, and three bathrooms.
