A rare, Linda Vista gem sitting prominently, 'front row center' with a panoramic views of the perfect combination of the iconic Rose Bowl, the Brookside Golf course and the majestic San Gabriel mountains. Don't be mistaken, properties like these don't come around very often in Pasadena. There are only a select few with this perfect view, large lot size, and extremely private location. This is 'Waterfront Pasadena'.Now let's talk about the house. Think, Father of the Bride meets Wisteria Lane. This home speaks togetherness, gatherings, warmth, charm, and entertainment. A permanent 'staycation'.The long, gated private driveway passes the separate secluded permitted ADU/guest house. It is a 730 sqft sanctuary complete with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and disappearing accordion windows that turn it into a fun poolside entertainment paradise. It is a compound perfect for adults, kids and teenagers. The pool and spa are centered on the lot with a covered veranda & sleek fireplace overlooking the putting green. Attached on the other side of the guest house is a complete outdoor grilling kitchen-- complete with built in barbecue, ceiling fans and heaters. This backyard #1- is the perfect entertaining area-- far enough away from the main house to offer privacy-- but still behind the gates of your estate. The drive in is lined with a canopy of trees that bloom pink and white and continues to a three-car garage, replica playhouse, and the main house~ where it all comes together.A welcoming foyer with exposed beams and a dramatic fireplace graces the entrance and leads to the elegant step-down living room with a stunning view, centered fireplace, and hardwood flooring.The great-room entertainer kitchen that connects the casual family dining area and the formal dining room is light, open, functional, and spacious.A south wing, lined with three bedrooms & two bathrooms, one of them being a spacious main floor suite is quiet and a peaceful part of the home.A demi flight of stairs leads to the secluded, tree-top, primary bedroom suite with an office/den, a fireplace, nice mountain views, and a beautiful veranda overlooking the pool and grounds. Last but not least, the rear yard--backyard #2 is a special spot with 2 majestic old oaks keeping watch over the grassy yard, rose garden, and patio with a stone fireplace. This is a magical, once-in-a-lifetime home.
