Last month, September 2020, the most expensive home sold was 1675 Orlando Road Pasadena. This estate, located across from the Huntington Library, sold for $4,700,000 in twenty-five days, which was the full asking price. The sellers bought this impressive home in 2002 for $2,100,000 and since then added another bedroom, three bathrooms, and a pool house/office. In addition, they added a 568 square foot covered loggia for outside entertaining.
