Set in the prestigious Langham area of Pasadena, this English Manor estate by architects Forman and Martin achieves a timeless elegance rarely seen. Built in 1914, this stately home stands on 0.66 acres of manicured grounds, complete with a secluded backyard pool and spa, outdoor kitchen and patio, and a generous motor court with 3-stall garage. A grand foyer welcomes you into the over 6,000 square foot interior, where richly coffered ceilings drape above detailed woodwork, and glass sconces adorn the walls. Architectural details continue through exquisite entertaining spaces including a parlor, formal dining room and a formal living room with a fireplace and ornate mantle. The gourmet kitchen with custom carved wood cabinets is equipped with a cooktop center island, extensive windows and storage, a butler's pantry, and eat-in space for casual dining. Seamlessly transition to the backyard terrace to grill and dine al fresco with guests beside the pool, or retreat to the main-level study to reflect by the fireplace surrounded by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Upstairs is the luxurious primary suite with a walk-in closet, en-suite bath and oversized corner tub overlooking the serene exterior. Secondary bedrooms, two additional full baths, and a private balcony extend throughout the upper floors, while the lowermost floor features a large multipurpose room with a fireplace and abundant storage. All within moments of local dining and amenities, freeways and historic landmarks, this impressive estate is full of character and on the market for the first time in over 40 years.
