Escape to 951 Laguna Road, a classic Pasadena estate that feels like a private, elegant retreat. This spacious 5-bedroom, 5-bath Monterey Colonial spans 4,414 SF on a magical 1.03-acre lot. From the moment you arrive, the meticulously designed side yard, filled with flowering roses, camelias and a pomegranate tree, guides you to the grand formal entryway and staircase. The home's provenance is evident, as the original builder was in the lumber business, a legacy reflected in the abundance of beautiful wood details throughout, including a charming butler's pantry and rich wood paneling in the cozy library. Downstairs, the layout offers a perfect, sophisticated flow for entertaining. The main level features a large living room anchored by a fireplace, and a formal dining room distinguished by coved ceilings and ambient soffit lighting. A butler's pantry with wooden counters, storage, and a sink connects the dining room to a well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen is a chef's delight with tile countertops and high-end stainless steel appliances, conveniently located adjacent to a laundry room and service entrance. Just beyond is one bedroom downstairs complete with a bathroom en suite. The Library is a true architectural gem, featuring a second fireplace and a secret bar complete with a copper-sink and dutch door. A light-filled sunroom opens to a huge Trex deck overlooking the magnificent rear grounds. The expansive property is a true nature lover's dream, featuring a tranquil running stream, a sycamore grove, and a fern garden, all framed by mature oak trees. Upstairs, the private quarters include four more bedrooms and three baths. The generous Primary suite boasts a formal dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Two of the bedrooms share access to a large veranda that spans the front of the house, while an added bonus is the private, quiet, light-filled office discreetly located off one of the bedrooms. The 3-car garage also features storage space and a workshop area. This is more than a home; it is a timeless Pasadena experience. Elegant, spacious, and utterly enchanting, this is a property of exceptional character and charm.
