Marketing info for 777 S Oak Knoll Ave Pasadena read: Situated on almost three-quarters of a flat acre, this historic property seamlessly blends period architectural design with modern amenities. The grandeur begins in the double-height marble and terrazzo foyer, guiding guests to the expansive living room boasting a Medusa ‘hand-tooled’ cement cast mantel and hearth. Adjacent is a sunroom with a pentagon of full-length operable glass panels. The formal dining room, adorned in hand-painted silk chinoiserie, opens through French doors to the arched covered outdoor patio featuring custom tiling.
The media room/study provides a space for more relaxed gatherings. Transitioning to the first level, the modern chef’s kitchen, bar pantry, sitting, and family room create a natural setting for everyday time with family and friends. Two powder rooms and access to the basement complete this level. Moving upstairs to the second floor, a large landing with a sitting nook and balcony elegantly separates the two living wings. The primary suite, slightly sequestered, features a bedroom with a private outdoor patio. The marble-adorned bathroom includes a shower, separate soaking tub, enclosed water closet, double vanity, make-up counter, and dual walk-in closets. On the opposite side, three additional spacious bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms.
Additionally, the expansive outdoor balcony, equipped with deck seating and a sauna, spans the rear. Upstairs, linen storage and a separate laundry room add convenience. The walled rear yard boasts a sweeping grassy lawn, a large swimmers pool/spa, an adjacent lounging pergola, an outdoor fireplace, and a secret garden—all meticulously designed by EPT Design.
The two-car garage seamlessly connects to the townhouse guest apartment. On the first level, it features a changing bathroom and shower. Transitioning to the second floor, the residence encompasses living, dining, den, bedroom, full bath, and kitchen areas.
