Description

When the architect designed this exceptional home, he realized that this particular spot had the rarest sweeping view of the San Gabriel Mountains in Pasadena. That's why he gave it a Great Room that's a full 2-stories high with floor-to-ceiling windows, making sure that when you walk inside you are awed by mountains, Eucalyptus trees, and sky. He created it to be a private, peaceful retreat - giving you the sensation that the rest of the world just melted away. Designed to showcase its unmatched surroundings, the home offers a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. The dramatic 19' Great Room not only frames the mountain range with its soaring windows, it fills the space with natural light and creates an unforgettable setting for everyday living and entertaining. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the room with warmth and character. The generous dining room features a wall of glass and sliding doors that open to a secluded veranda that's ideal for al fresco dining amid fragrant citrus, pines, and fruit blossoms - all while you and your guests enjoy an expansive view like no other. A built-in grill completes this entertainer's retreat. The open-concept kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with custom cabinetry and three Thermador ovens, including an extra-wide baker's oven, making it a true culinary centerpiece. A laundry room and butler's pantry with abundant storage are conveniently located nearby. Upstairs, all three bedrooms capture dramatic mountain views, as well as the iconic Rose Bowl and lush Arroyo Seco. The primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom finished in French limestone. Two additional bedrooms feature exceptional custom storage, including an entire wall of built-in cabinetry in one and a 12-foot custom mirrored closet in another. An airy loft provides flexible space for a home office, guest nook, or family lounge. Mature landscaping surrounds the home with citrus, peach, plum, and orange trees, complemented by private front and side grassy yards. This one-of-a-kind property offers a rare sense of privacy, space, and serenity--just minutes from Pasadena's renowned dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. Additional highlights include a spacious two-car garage, driveway parking, and ample street parking--ideal for gatherings and special events.
