Marketing for 380 W Green St, Pasadena:
In 1956, Mr. Merritt’s estate sold the residence and more than six acres of grounds to Herbert Armstrong. Soon afterward, the property became part of Ambassador College, an academic institution operated by the Worldwide Church of God. Merritt Mansion LLC acquired the property in April 2015 and later sold it to the current owner in December 2018.
Today, the estate showcases remarkable original details. The three-story residence retains its historic exterior character and original mahogany wood paneling on the first and second floors. Below, the fully finished basement offers multiple rooms and an indoor swimming pool. The property also provides access to the shared amenities of the prestigious Ambassador Gardens community. These include a community swimming pool and the spectacular 2.1-acre Great Lawn.
For the past seven years, the current owner has meticulously restored and renovated this extraordinary estate. As a result, the Merritt Mansion now combines timeless architectural grandeur with beautifully renewed spaces.
That was nearly twenty percent less than the owners hoped for based on their list price. Hope it worked out okay for them
