Designed by noted architect Reginald Johnson - featuring the principal residence, sequestered guest house, verdant grounds, grand pool and captivating gardens. A mix of the structured and elegant Italian Renaissance Revival, with a more approachable, relaxed living environment that embraces the necessities and desires of today. Owned by Pasadena luminaries for nearly a century, and now the home of an acclaimed fashion designer and his wife since 1998 - the 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom primary residence features voluminous space and height throughout with equally scaled original Palladian doors and windows which provide an abundance of light and air.

All have direct access to outdoor patios, gardens and the expansive lawn beyond. Chef's kitchen and great room with casual seating and an adjacent butler's pantry. Catering prep, separate laundry room, two bedrooms and bathroom complete the lower level. The second level is divided into two distinct zones accessed from the central landing. Luxurious primary suite - with separate bedroom, dressing and sun rooms and walk-through c
