New ListingPerched in Pasadena's coveted San Rafael Hills, this extraordinary 1927 Spanish Colonial Revival estate occupies a remarkable setting overlooking the surrounding hills & Annandale Country Club's green fairways below. Accessed by a paver driveway, the sprawling 8,486-square-foot residence reveals the romance & craftsmanship of its era from the moment its wide arched wood door opens to the grand interior. Travertine floors, graceful arches, hardwood floors, leaded glass & beautifully preserved architectural details carry throughout. At the heart of the home, a magnificent great room with a statement fireplace & a wood-beamed barrel ceiling, wet bar & French doors opens to patios & gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor elegance & outdoor living. The formal dining room connects through a butler's pantry with a copper sink to the chef's kitchen, appointed with an expansive island, 6-burner cooktop, double ovens, stone counters, walk-in pantry & abundant cabinetry. A window-lined breakfast room opens toward the pool, while a library, intimate sitting rooms & sunroom create places to gather or retreat. Upstairs, hardwood floors lead to the bedroom level & a turret office framed by a floral leaded-glass window. The expansive primary suite offers a fireside sleeping area, sitting room, Juliet balcony & substantial walk-in closet. Its grand bath features dual vanities, a jetted tub dramatically set within a raised stone surround, separate shower & water closet. Additional bedrooms include ensuite accommodations, with French doors opening to balconies overlooking the pool & grounds. The lower level adds another dimension with a gym, wine cellar, expansive den, guest suite & numerous French doors opening directly to the lower patios leading to the pool deck. Outside, terraced hillside gardens surround a resort-like pool & spa, a built-in barbecue island, a fire pit & generous entertaining terraces, while a flowing stream, waterfall & pond bring a sense of serenity to the front gardens. Below the pool, garden paths lead to a separate clubhouse/game room above the 3-car garage, complete with a covered balcony. A rare expression of Pasadena's architectural heritage, this 1927 Spanish Colonial Revival estate embodies timeless character, remarkable scale & serene hillside living. With its enduring craftsmanship, resort-like grounds & gracious spaces for entertaining & retreat, it offers a distinctive blend of historic elegance & exceptional living.
