Set on nearly three acres in Pasadena's most coveted neighborhood, the property is a remarkable showcase of 1920s Mediterranean Revival architecture. Designed by renowned architect Gordon Kaufmann--celebrated for some of Southern California's most iconic estates, and landmarks, including the Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles Times Building, and Cal Tech Athenaeum--this residence is among his masterpieces, embodying timeless elegance and architectural significance. A gated drive curves up to a flagstone arrival court, where the villa stands at the crest of the picturesque Arroyo Seco Park. Each of the home's three levels offer breathtaking panoramas, while a series of balconies, terraces, and loggias seamlessly bridge indoor and outdoor living. The park-like grounds offer a serene private retreat, equally suited for quiet relaxation or grand entertaining. The dining room and its adjacent outdoor terrace can comfortably accommodate up to 250 guests in privacy and security. Classic details are present throughout the interior, from hardwood floors and custom mill-work to intricate moldings, five fireplaces, and a beautiful gothic latticework staircase. Oversized windows bathe each room in natural light and frame exquisite views of the surrounding greenery. Over the years the home has hosted many large events and has been featured in film and magazine shoots. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic residence at the pinnacle of Pasadena​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​ luxury.
