Stunning and newly constructed in 2021, this extraordinary Pasadena compound is thoughtfully nestled on over half an acre within a grove of majestic California oak trees in the beautiful Linda Vista neighborhood above the iconic Rose Bowl. Designed with great sensitivity to its natural surroundings, the residence blends a striking yet harmonious palette of concrete, steel, glass, and wood. Expansive angled gables, grand scale, and restrained details create an aesthetic that feels both modern and timeless–embracing the serenity of the landscape and the enduring character of California architecture.The heart of the home is the warm and inviting kitchen, outfitted with custom-milled cabinetry, chef’s-grade appliances, and refined finishes. Sliding glass doors open directly to an outdoor dining patio and fireplace, a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The main living area is defined by vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, and a fluid layout that blurs the boundaries between architecture and nature, filling the space with light and tranquility.The first-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring a luxurious, paneled dressing room and spa-like bath. A guest suite and private den or library complete the main level, while a sculptural, wood-shelved staircase ascends to two additional bedrooms–each with its own balcony and a shared bath. The lower level is dedicated to entertainment and leisure, offering a grand media and play space anchored by a dramatic fireplace. Outdoors, the estate unfolds around a large east-west swimming pool and spa framed by two magnificent specimen oaks. Surrounding the pool, three complementary structures–a guest house, an office or studio building, and a pool bath house–mirror the main residence’s elegant double-gable design and soaring ceilings. A motor court, flanked by dual two-car garages, provides both convenience and a sense of stately arrival.This masterfully crafted property embodies the rare synthesis of architectural innovation, natural beauty, and timeless California living–an inspired retreat where design and environment exist in perfect harmony.
