    What's special

    This exceptional contemporary architectural Craftsman home is in the desirable South Grand area of Pasadena. Upon entering the home one is immediately impressed with the materials and design elements used in this unique build. From lighting, woodworking and trim finish, windows and smart systems, this home has no equal. Beyond the living room and parlor with its fireplace is a large formal dining area with custom built-ins. The gourmet chef's kitchen with ample center island is adjacent to the generous family/media room with fireplace and a gaming/piano area. There are also two bedrooms and three baths on this floor, including two en-suites. Upstairs is a true master retreat with sitting area, fireplace, bath with spa tub, outdoor balcony, and an adjacent studio/office with its own private kitchenette. The finished basement can be used as an office, studio, or gym. An elevator accesses all three levels. Indoor-outdoor entertaining is by design with multiple French doors and deck areas leading to the rear hardscape, gardens, and fountains. There is a finished two-car garage to the rear with a Murphy bed and an additional bath. This unique property is located in the shadows of the Pasadena Tournament House and is convenient to Old Pasadena shopping and restaurants.
