Nestled in one of Pasadena’s most desirable enclaves, this magnificent estate presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a residence designed by legendary architect Paul R. Williams, the visionary behind some of the most iconic homes in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Los Angeles.

Currently offered at $4,630,000, this grand Mediterranean Revival estate blends historical craftsmanship with the elegance of modern-day living. Built in the 1920s and lovingly maintained over the decades, the home is a masterpiece of proportion, scale, and timeless design.

The heart of the home features a spectacular formal living room with intricate molding, oversized windows, and elegant French doors that open to expansive terraces and gardens. Whether you're hosting an intimate evening or a grand celebration, this space is designed for both luxury and comfort.

Across the hall, the formal dining room provides the perfect setting for holiday gatherings or sunset dinner parties. Framed by arched windows and garden views, the room seamlessly flows outdoors for effortless entertaining.

Architectural Library & Custom Details

The wood-paneled library showcases some of the estate’s most exquisite period details—from hand-carved Corinthian columns to a detailed fireplace flanked by bookshelves. It’s a room that evokes both prestige and warmth—a perfect retreat for work or quiet reflection.

Just beyond is the breakfast room, a charming and light-filled space with decorative ceiling plasterwork, ideal for starting your day with coffee and views of the lush gardens.

Outdoor Living & Grounds

Multiple terraces wrap around the home offering elegant spaces for al fresco dining and lounging beneath towering cypress and palm trees. From nearly every room, there are panoramic views of the San Gabriel Mountains, providing a serene and majestic backdrop.

A Legacy Property

This is not just a home—it's a living piece of Los Angeles history. Paul R. Williams’ architectural pedigree adds unmatched value for connoisseurs of design and collectors of cultural heritage. His legacy is woven throughout the estate, offering not just beauty, but provenance.
