Property Description

Nestled on 1.76 private acres above the Arroyo Seco, this exceptional gated estate in Pasadena offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline and surrounding mountains. This elegant two-story Colonial Revival was designed by architect Y. W. Nibecker in 1948 and offers a timeless blend of architectural grace and thoughtful modern updates. Designed for elegant living and effortless entertaining, the home features a separate casita and a floor plan that flows seamlessly from room to room. Through the formal entry is a gracious living room that sits just off the entry, showcasing a double-sided fireplace, French doors to the backyard, and expansive views of the natural landscape. Next to it, the welcoming family room features the other side of the fireplace, built-in shelving and sweeping vistas--perfect for cozy evenings or casual gatherings. Adjacent to the living room, the formal dining room is a serene setting for entertaining, complete with windows showcasing the captivating views. The spacious, beautifully remodeled kitchen has been tastefully updated with a mix of granite and quartz countertops and ample cabinetry, with another set of French doors leading to the backyard. Off the kitchen, a laundry room, a guest suite with a private bath, and access to the attached three-car garage offer convenience and flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite provides unobstructed views and has a private en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms and a bath complete the upper level, offering ample space. Wood floors flow throughout most of the home, adding warmth and cohesion. The separate casita is attached to the garage and features its own private entrance and bath, offering an ideal space for guests, a home office, or creative studio. Outside, the grounds are a tranquil retreat. Mature trees, formal gardens, and beautiful landscaping create a peaceful oasis, while the covered rear terrace, patios, and a combination putting green and bocce ball court provide multiple spaces to relax and entertain. The expansive gated driveway and enclosed pool area with loggia complete this truly special property--one that combines natural beauty, architectural heritage, and a rare sense of seclusion just minutes from all that Pasadena has to offer.
