Grand. Regal. Unforgettable. Even the most ambitious words fall short of capturing the full magnificence offered by 1145 Hillcrest Avenue. More than an elegant estate, this is a masterpiece of Arts & Crafts architecture, set on a prized corner lot in what many consider Pasadena's most distinguished neighborhood. With stunning mountain views, renowned properties all around, and the convenience of the Langham Hotel's gym and spa just down the street, you've found a rare opportunity to experience the best of Pasadena living. A sprawling front yard adorned with mature trees, lush landscaping, and a red brick walkway makes one thing clear: even at a passing glance, this home is special. In the foyer, your eyes wander from the dazzling chandelier to the intricately wainscoted walls and crown molding--timeless hallmarks that speak to the home's exquisite, old-world craftsmanship. To the right, a stately library framed by rich wood paneling, a box-beam ceiling, and gorgeous built-ins provides the perfect setting for focused work. Opposite, an expansive living room is the picture of elegance, offering an enviable venue whether hosting afternoon tea or simply relaxing. A carved marble fireplace anchors this showcase room, while the window-wrapped family room is filled with radiant light and invites more casual enjoyment. Open the formal dining room's French doors and let a soft breeze join you and your guests at the table, while you admire the serene backyard views. Meal prep is a breeze in the nearby kitchen, outfitted with an abundance of amenities and a spacious butler's pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite commands its own private wing, featuring not one, but two separate baths, alongside a dedicated dressing room. The remaining secondary bedrooms are private and comfortable, each with a bathroom close by. Outside, the immaculate grounds echo the splendor of The Huntington Gardens. Winding pathways, a gated pool and spa, citrus trees, and a fire pit, foster outdoor experiences nothing shy of enchanting. As an added bonus, the guest house is a standalone residence. Complete with two spacious bedrooms and its own living room, this is a tranquil retreat unto itself. With its graceful architecture, expansive interiors, and impressive grounds, your sojourn at 1145 Hillcrest Ave will be truly unforgettable.
