Magnificent views, architectural style and tasteful updates combined to achieve a truly elegant Pasadena estate. Designed in 1923 by Roland Coate, Reginald Johnson & Gordon Kaufman. This Mediterranean Revival residence commands a lovely knoll overlooking the historic Arroyo Seco. An attractive motor court leads to the entry, with powder room and graceful staircase. The public rooms consist of a handsome library / entertainment room, a gracious living room with stately fireplace and a formal dining room with wainscoting. A bright garden sunroom, a butler’s pantry, beautifully updated gourmet kitchen, half bath, laundry and a guest suite with handicap-accessible bath complete the main level.
