Description
Priced at the lowest cost per square foot in Linda Vista, The Simonds House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a timeless estate in one of Pasadena's most sought-after neighborhoods. Designed by noted architect Theodore L. Pletsch, this ranch-style residence offers approximately 4,700 square feet with six bedrooms and five bathrooms on nearly one acre of expansive, park-like grounds.Upon entry, expansive living spaces flow seamlessly to the living room, sunroom, and inviting library with fireplace and bar, all overlooking the majestic backyard. A convenient powder room and a separate space ideal for a future wine cellar further enhance the home's appeal.At the heart of the residence, the chef's kitchen features a generous center island, Viking appliances, and seamless access to the formal dining room. While rich in original architectural detail and timeless charm, the home also offers exceptional upside potential for buyers seeking to renovate, modernize, or reimagine the estate. A thoughtful redesign could create a more open contemporary floor plan that fully embraces California indoor-outdoor living.The grounds evoke the feeling of a private resort surrounded by nature. Thoughtfully landscaped and impeccably maintained, the nearly one-acre property features mature trees, rolling lawns, gardens, and peaceful pathways that create a remarkable sense of serenity and seclusion. Expansive decks and patios invite effortless indoor-outdoor living, offering endless spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and dining al fresco. A sparkling saltwater pool and spa, koi pond, picturesque brick pathways, and multiple grassy play areas further enhance the estate's park-like setting.Ideally located in the prestigious Linda Vista neighborhood, the property enjoys close proximity to some of Pasadena's most iconic destinations, including the Rose Bowl, Brookside Golf Course, and the scenic trails of the Arroyo Seco. The home is also near ArtCenter College of Design, Old Pasadena, and many of the region's renowned private schools, offering an exceptional opportunity for those seeking privacy, character, and convenience in one of Pasadena's most coveted enclaves.
