About this home
Secluded behind the original estate walls, noted architect Reginald Johnson's masterful recreation of a Tuscan villa is a surprise, sited on a flat one acre parcel in the quiet South Arroyo neighborhood of Pasadena and South Pasadena. Belying the ease of quick accessibility to downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, and freeways giving universal access to LA's network, the property offers a convenient retreat from our busy world. The Italian Renaissance Revival villa is structured with inspiring historic detail, the work of original craftsmen brought from Italy to ensure old world quality. The double doors to the two-story entry hall lead to an initial gathering space with classical columns, scaled impressively for formal gatherings, while the honed marble floors and warm woods are equally comfortable with today's barefoot indoor outdoor lifestyle. Owned by Pasadena luminaries for nearly a century, the 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom primary residence features voluminous space and height throughout with tall Palladian doors and windows filling the rooms with beautiful light and air. Formal living room and adjoining library - both with fireplaces, and a formal dining room all have direct access to outdoor patios, captivating gardens and the expansive lawn beyond. Warm, inviting chef's kitchen with casual seating area and an adjacent butler's pantry, back kitchen storage/mudroom, 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 closet and bath. Opposite is an additional bedroom suite with bath ensuite and adjoining sitting room, as well as another large bedroom with bathroom and closet ensuite. Sequestered one bedroom guest house with living room anchored by a fireplace, kitchen, bedroom and bath - all surrounded by its own hedged gardens. Swimmers pool, spacious pavilion, spa retreat, hidden rose garden and dining area with fireplace and grill. Lushly landscaped with sweeping lawn, mature specimen trees, grape arbor, secluded refuges and several fountains. Generous parking area includes carport for multiple vehicles....
