Property Description

Stunning views in Pasadena's coveted San Rafael Hills! This elegant Mediterranean villa pairs rich character with resort-style living and some of the most spectacular vistas in the city. Palm-lined landscaping frames a warm stucco facade with crisp cornice moldings and a red clay barrel-tile roof, crowned by a tower-style chimney with arched openings. Stone pavers set in the lawn lead to grand leaded glass double doors with a matching transom, a fitting prelude to what lies within. Inside, the foyer soars, with maple hardwood floors underfoot and a wraparound band of arched clerestory windows overhead pouring light into the space. Through an arched entry, the vaulted living room features a wall of windows and glass doors that frame sweeping panoramas and open to the patio. The views continue in the dining room, where a tray ceiling and recessed lighting create a refined setting for holidays and dinner parties. The kitchen is a true chef's dream, anchored by a suspended wood ceiling feature and a sweeping curved island with prep sink and breakfast bar seating. Custom cabinetry and a suite of stainless appliances, including a professional-style gas range with chimney hood and double wall ovens, complete the space. It flows into the family room, where a sleek stone fireplace is flanked by a built-in media center and illuminated display shelving. The primary suite is a serene retreat with a decorative fireplace, built-in bookshelves, plantation shutters, backyard access and a luxurious walk-in closet. The spa-like bath indulges with marble floors, a soaking tub, an oversized shower and dual sinks. Down the hall, two carpeted guest bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, one with a vanity and a skylit en suite bath, with a full hall bath close by. At the end of the wing, a massive bonus room with a slate and mosaic tile bar and kitchenette is perfect for movie nights, game nights or guests. A study with a stone fireplace, a chic powder room, a home gym, a laundry room and a four-car garage round out the home. Outside, the property truly blossoms. An infinity-edge pool and raised spa seem to spill into the horizon, surrounded by an expansive deck, a covered patio, lush lawn, mature palms and a tall privacy hedge. Minutes from the Rose Bowl, Old Town and the Norton Simon Museum, this is Pasadena view living at its finest. Truly one of a kind!
