Property Description

With its stunning Italian Revival architecture, idyllic setting on nearly half an acre of private grounds, and expansive hosting areas, 540 Woodland Road offers the perfect opportunity to savor the good life in one of Pasadena's most coveted pockets. This Oak Knoll neighborhood treasure is rich in both character and history, having been designed by renowned architect Robert H. Ainsworth for celebrated portrait artist Arthur J. Cahill - whose subjects included President Herbert Hoover and General John J. Pershing. A lush, grassy lawn and horse-shoe driveway welcomes you to the residence, which rests on a peaceful and picturesque street defined by its collection of noteworthy homes. As you enter the grand foyer, a world of soulful elegance and luxurious spaciousness unfolds. Highlights of the main level include the large formal living and dining rooms where you'll host memorable gatherings both large and small. The generous family room is perfect for game nights, movie-marathons, and Superbowl viewing parties while the expansive kitchen offers an abundance of space to create the professional-grade culinary haven of your dreams. Off the kitchen, a bedroom suite is perfect for an au pair. Upstairs, find four more bright and spacious bedrooms--two of which are suites. The home's verdant and private backyard is truly spectacular. A large patio wraps around the rear of the home, offering a vibrant setting for outdoor brunch surrounded by natural beauty. Further beyond, the huge grassy lawn invites games of catch, outdoor campouts, and there's plenty of space to add a pool. Surrounded by mature trees, this is your personal slice of paradise. For those seeking a magical next chapter, 540 Woodland Road awaits.
