Last month the most expensive home sold was 1776 Linda Vista Avenue Pasadena. This luxury home overlooking the Rose Bowl was previously listed for $4,500,000 and sold before going in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) for $4,425,000. The seller purchased this home in March of this year for $3,812,000 and sold it in two months. By looking at the prior listing it doesn’t appear to be a flip.
When evaluating pricing, it’s best to not focus on just one comparable but to evaluate as a whole. I am sure there is an explanation as to what happened. It could be many things.
MLS Remarks for 1776 Linda Vista Avenue Pasadena read:
Nothing short of magical, this one-of-a-kind 1.87 acre estate captures the true essence of Pasadena’s rich history. Secluded and private behind iconic Gamble Lamp capped gates. The 5 bedroom and 6.5 bathroom home overlooks the lush Arroyo, with expansive views of the Angeles Crest mountains, golf course and famous Rose Bowl Stadium. Surrounded by land that seemingly never ends, the numerous stone-lined trails weave through countless oak, lush California forest and hidden lookouts all within this unbelievable LA property, primed for discovery.
Entering the home, step from the circular drive and large front lawn into the dramatic entry. It leads to all points of the house. Through the foyer, explore the stylish living room featuring a Craftsman fireplace. And large windows overlooking the grounds in three directions. Pick up a book in the attached Library, tastefully customized with built-in shelving. Experience the well-designed Cook’s Kitchen with a Viking range, three ovens, Sub-Zero and two dishwashers. Leading to either a sun-filled breakfast area and joining family room in one direction or the formal dining room and adjacent butler’s pantry in the other. The ground floor is also completed with a tranquil yoga studio boasting a curved wall of windows.
