An exceptional private luxury estate in the prestigious South Pasadena neighborhood offers a timeless sanctuary perfect for relaxation and entertaining with a wrap-around beautifully landscaped yard, saltwater pool, and views of the Arroyo and Downtown LA. Located within minutes of award-winning schools, fine shopping, & dining, this elegant 1929 architectural gem, prominently perched atop a knoll, is masterfully reimagined by Page & Turnbull architects, rebuilt by Hartman Baldwin, and designed by Willa Ford Interiors in 2018. Thoughtfully designed, the floor plan balances elegance and functionality, featuring 5 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, a grand formal entry, a magnificent living room, a formal dining room, a celebrity chef's dream kitchen, a dedicated office, family room, playroom, mudroom, and more. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings and an airy, open flow, seamlessly connecting the formal living and dining areas to the gourmet kitchen, equipped with top-tier appliances, custom cabinetry, and a dumbwaiter. The adjacent family room opens to a heated outdoor patio and a full outdoor kitchen. A guest suite with a private bath, an office, and a mudroom complete this level. The upper level is a private sanctuary, featuring four well-appointed bedrooms, including a primary suite with breathtaking Downtown LA views, a spa-inspired marble bath, and a custom walk-in closet. A Jack-and-Jill bath connects two secondary bedrooms, while an additional en-suite provides privacy for guests. 2 laundry rooms (upstairs & downstairs) add convenience. The lower level is a true retreat, offering a fully furnished basement with a flexible entertainment/recreation room, a full bath, and direct garage access. Ideal as a media room, gym, or guest quarters, this space offers endless possibilities. Every detail has been meticulously curated, from white oak hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and soft-closing closet doors to a hardwired security system with cameras and private security (California Metro Patrol). Modern comforts include three-zone A/C, tankless water heaters, a Life Source whole-house filtration system. Outdoors, the resort-style backyard boasts a heated 60-foot saltwater lap pool, spa, Baja shelf with umbrella stand, and lush private landscaping. A heated patio and outdoor fireplace complete this seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A rare opportunity to experience unparalleled luxury, privacy, and sophistication in South Pasadena.

That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
