A masterwork of design and beauty, 1370 Hillcrest Ave rests hidden behind a privacy gate and layers of manicured landscaping in Pasadena's premier Oak Knoll neighborhood. Built over a century ago and conceived by renowned architect David Ogilvie, this meticulously updated French Eclectic estate pairs refined interiors with picture-perfect outdoor spaces--offering a lifestyle both elegant and effortlessly livable. From the iconic Simons brick facade to the countless custom details within, this heritage home reveals a world of alluring beauty and refinement at every turn. Social gatherings in the living room are enhanced by lush garden views and a stately limestone fireplace while the formal dining room, served by a well-appointed butler's pantry, offers a graceful setting for memorable meals. The heart of the home rests in the impeccably renovated chef's kitchen, which showcases sumptuous materials, classic beauty, and top-tier industrial grade appliances. Open to a casual breakfast room with a soaring cathedral ceiling, radiant natural light casts a magical glow over your weekend brunches. The kitchen also opens to the family room, where folding glass doors lead to an enchanting side patio shaded by a towering sycamore. Tucked away for added privacy, the palatial primary suite boasts ceilings over 10ft, custom closets, and a luxurious ensuite with stunning stonework. Four additional ensuite bedrooms are found upstairs. Equally impressive inside and out, the home's expansive grounds offer a private paradise equally suited for grand scale entertaining or peaceful repose. A sweeping terrace includes an outdoor kitchen, built-in barbecue, and fire pit while just beyond, the resort-style pool dazzles with fountains and a spa. From the lush, park-like lawn, to the gorgeous desert garden and majestic 100 year old Oak that inspires all who are lucky enough to see it, you'll treasure this unbelievably private and picturesque setting. With timeless character masterfully updated for modern tastes, 1370 Hillcrest Ave is an exquisite home where every detail encourages you to live beautifully.
