Welcome to this incredible showcase worthy estate sited on an idyllic tree lined street with stunning curb appeal in one of South Pasadena’s most desirable neighborhoods. The seven bedroom, seven bath Prairie style residence is picture perfect and takes you back in time to offer a glimpse into the elegance and grandeur of when this was built in 1903. The home sits raised on a verdant knoll that is bookended by two gated entries that connect via a grand circular drive. You are then beckoned in from the wide, welcoming front porch that wraps the home and sits under a majestic canopy from the tree branches above.
The 7,323 square foot (measured) interior is made up of three expansive levels, as well as a finished basement with bar that adds an extra 577 square feet (measured). Each room is more breath-taking than the last and includes a beautiful living room, a sun dappled family room or parlor with French doors that look out at the dark bottom pool, as well as the rear yard with numerous seating areas. This level also features a stately formal dining room with wood paneled wainscoting, an office with elegant built-ins, a delightful sunroom, a sitting room, a spacious kitchen where the possibilities abound, a deep walk-in pantry, a mud room and so much more. The regal center staircase leads you up to the second level that has magnificent leaded glass windows as well as five bedrooms including the primary suite that has a marble surround fireplace, as well as a charming seating area. The third level offers two additional bedrooms, a study, a craft or homework room plus ample storage and closets throughout. Not to be missed is the basement that is a perfect den or billiards room with a private entrance that steps up to the driveway and three-car garage.
The home is a pristine representation of the artistry and craftsmanship of the era. There are rich wood floors, boxed beam ceilings, five decorative fireplaces, elaborate handcrafted woodwork, gorgeous period hardware, opulent fixtures, as well as marble and travertine finishes.
