MLS remarks read:
Nestled on more than an acre of flat bluff atop Salvia Canyon, this magnificent Georgian colonial revival estate exudes both classic grandeur and the warmth of a truly livable home in which every square foot of land and home provides purpose, beauty, and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Elegant formal living spaces flow into inviting, comfortable porches, sitting areas, and gathering spaces.
Reminiscent of a Southern estate with porches extending across both front and back facades and beautiful architectural metalwork, this home was completely redesigned and rebuilt in 1999, with an extensive expansion of the southern wing and outbuildings in 2002, with living space now at 10,483 sqft. While breathtaking views of the San Gabriels provide the front yard backdrop for infinite Brookside and Rose Bowl vistas, private treetop views of the San Rafael hills surround the backyard, creating a one-of-a-kind Linda Vista retreat. This is truly one of Pasadena’s treasures.
