| Christophe Choo at Coldwell Banker Global Luxury is Your Local Real Estate Expert

Nestled in the heart of Pasadena’s most desirable neighborhood lies a true architectural treasure — a breathtaking estate designed by the iconic Paul R. Williams. Known as one of the most influen

tial architects of the 20th century, Williams’ timeless design legacy continues to enchant luxury homebuyers across Los Angeles and beyond. This particular estate is no exception — it is a rare opportunity to own a historically significant residence steeped in artistry, craftsmanship, and prestige.

A Living Room That Redefines Grandeur

From the moment you step into the grand formal living room, you’re transported into a world where architectural detail and sophisticated design converge. The room is anchored by magnificent coffered, hand-painted wood-beam ceilings, casting intricate shadows that change with the sunlight. The elevated layout — a “step-up” design framed by a one-of-a-kind wrought iron balustrade — features ornate griffons that guard the space like mythic sentinels.

Massive arched windows line the walls, framing the mature gardens and mountain views, while wood-paneled sliding doors adorned with custom wrought ironwork open seamlessly to the surrounding formal rooms. Every corner reflects the masterful hand of Paul Williams — from the scale and proportion to the rich, expressive materials.

A Legacy Worth Preserving

This home isn’t just luxurious — it is historic. For discerning buyers who value heritage, architecture, and narrative, this property offers an unparalleled chance to live in a work of art. It stands as a beacon of California's architectural past while offering all the comforts and prestige demanded by today’s luxury lifestyle.

Whether you’re relocating to Pasadena, expanding your real estate portfolio, or searching for the ultimate legacy home, this estate presents an unrepeatable opportunity.
