Remarks

An oasis above it all, a private world of its own.Designed and built in 1914 by the noted firm of Brandt & Rhodes, this distinguished Colonial Revival estate is set on an elevated parcel of more than three-quarters of an acre. Originally described as one of Pasadena's 'sightliest' plots of ground due to its glorious tranquil treetop views and exceptional sense of privacy.A stately approach, generous gated motor court, four-car garage, and layered gardens create a memorable sense of arrival. Encompassing more than 6,100 square feet, the beautifully renovated residence offers five bedrooms and five baths, thoughtfully arranged for gracious living and effortless entertaining. Light-filled interiors balance enduring architectural character with a fresh, refined feel, while custom woodwork, hardwood flooring, three fireplaces and extensive stone and tile finishes lend texture, warmth, and permanence throughout.The California lifestyle shines here... Expansive lawns, broad patios, and mature landscaping extend the home into a series of inviting outdoor rooms. A pool and spa, framed by a dedicated pavilion, create a natural destination for relaxed afternoons, elegant evening gatherings, and year-round enjoyment. This remarkable Pasadena estate brings together timeless architecture, reso
