Property Description

Set amidst nearly 1.5 acres of lush, verdant grounds and framed by one of Pasadena's most majestic fig trees, this Cotswold-inspired Arts and Crafts estate is a rare gem, exuding timeless sophistication and luxurious grandeur. Masterfully conceived by acclaimed architect David Serrurier and impeccably crafted in 2002 by Thomas Lake Builders, this residence seamlessly marries the elegance of the English countryside with the grace of Southern California's finest living.The estate's arrival sets a stately tone, as imported East Coast cobblestones underfoot guide you through the gated entrance into a world of exquisite refinement. A sweeping two-story foyer adorned with an elegantly curved staircase and antique French windows dating to the early 19th century immediately impresses with its grandeur. Throughout the home, impeccable craftsmanship reigns--from intricately hand-carved woodwork to reclaimed French tiles, each bespoke detail speaks to an unparalleled devotion to artistry and luxury. The soaring twelve-foot ceilings, expansive public rooms, and intimate reading alcoves envelop you in a sense of grace while the abundant windows frame captivating vistas of the surrounding gardens, designed by renowned landscape architect Sydney Baumgartner.Luxurious appointments abound in this stately residence, from the rich oak-paneled library with a fireplace and wet bar to the gourmet kitchen with the finest finishes seamlessly flowing into a bright breakfast nook and spacious family room. The grand California garden room extends the living space into the outdoors, harmonizing with the lush surroundings.
