A Private English Country Estate Compound with a Guest House, Resort Grounds, and Timeless Southwest Pasadena Distinction.Sited on just under a flat, sunlit acre in one of Southwest Pasadena's most coveted enclaves, the estate is a property of rare presence and quiet distinction. Set well back from the street behind mature landscaping designed by esteemed landscape architect Sydney Baumgartner, the estate is approached by a long, stately drive that creates an immediate sense of privacy and remove. Expansive front grounds, a traditional flagpole, and classic English country architecture establish a graceful arrival that is timeless in spirit yet relaxed in its California ease.The main residence, measured at 5,175 square feet, is sophisticated without feeling formal, offering beautifully scaled interiors designed for both everyday living and gracious entertaining. Formal living and dining rooms enjoy garden views and provide an elegant backdrop for gatherings, while the inviting cook's kitchen opens to the family room, creating a generous great room anchored by a fireplace and French doors to the outdoor entertaining areas.Additional spaces include a private office suite with fireplace, a charming breakfast room, a spacious project room with an adjacent bath, and well-planned service areas. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, built-in bookcases, an oversized dressing closet, and a refined bath. Three additional bedroom suites and a total of six baths complete the main residence.Two detached structures further distinguish the property and provide exceptional flexibility. A 383-square-foot gym/pool house with a full bath offers space for wellness, work, or retreat. Nearby, the 1,388-square-foot two-bedroom guest residence is comfortable and self-contained, with a covered porch, sitting room, dining area, kitchen, laundry, and two baths, perfect for extended guests, staff, multi-generational living, or a private work-from-home setting.The grounds are designed for year-round enjoyment and unfold with the ease of a private resort. A pool and spa with sun shelf are complemented by a shaded cabana, outdoor fireplace patio, and multiple garden areas for dining, entertaining, and quiet retreat beneath Pasadena's evening skies. A gated motor court and mature landscaping complete the compound's sense of calm and seclusion.
