Pasadena Luxury Real Estate January 2019: Last month, the most expensive Pasadena home sale was 1166 Hillcrest Ave. This home was listed on 12/3 and was reported in escrow the following day. This leads me to believe that the home sold off-market. It’s highly doubtful that an estate of this magnitude would sell in one day, especially in December. The home sold for the asking price of $5,990,000. The current sellers purchased this home in 2000 for $1,585,500.

Pasadena’s coveted South Oak Knoll District. Set on a sweeping 250-foot-wide lot, this exceptional estate makes an impressive statement. From the moment you enter, timeless craftsmanship takes center stage. The grand foyer features a beautifully carved mahogany staircase. Beyond it, enormous windows frame treetop views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Throughout the home, intricate woodwork, elegant moldings, mahogany doors, and custom built-ins showcase exceptional craftsmanship.
Next, the living room and sunroom open directly to the expansive lawn and dramatic terrace. The stately dining room features intricate millwork and a remarkable built-in mahogany buffet. Meanwhile, the private office offers handsome walnut bookcases and an original walk-in safe.
The remodeled kitchen and great room combine historic character with modern convenience. A Viking range and two Sub-Zero refrigerators anchor the space. Upstairs, all five bedroom suites provide privacy and comfort. Outside, the expansive loggia wraps around the rear of the home. It connects the terrace, pool area, and outdoor kitchen. From there, the entertaining spaces flow to a theater/game room and bath. In addition, a separate guest and pool house offers a bedroom, spa-like bath, and two additional rooms.
Finally, a large three-car garage, porte cochere, motor court, and fully gated grounds complete this extraordinary estate. With its historic architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, expansive grounds, and premier South Oak Knoll location, this Pasadena estate offers a rare combination of timeless elegance and modern luxury.
