Remarks

Wallace Neff Estate on Over One Acre in Pasadena's coveted Langham/Oak Knoll District - - -Reintroduced with a fresh perspective, this distinguished Spanish Revival estate, designed in 1928 by renowned architect Wallace Neff, FAIA, offers an extraordinary combination of architectural pedigree, gracious scale, and modern livability. Set on approximately one acre of private, terraced grounds in Pasadena's prestigious Langham district, the residence was commissioned by Adolphus and Lilly Anheuser Busch for their granddaughter, Mrs. Sidney Berg. Held by just three owners over nearly a century, the estate's remarkable continuity of ownership reflects its enduring appeal and the thoughtful stewardship of each generation.A dramatic two-story oval entry hall creates an unforgettable welcome, with black-and-white Belgian marble floors, original ironwork, and an antique chandelier believed to be original to the home. Beyond, the formal living and dining rooms and Honduran mahogany-paneled library feature soaring 12-foot ceilings and open directly to the gardens, terraces, and pool.At the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen is appointed with Carrara marble countertops, a Wolf range, and Sub-Zero appliances. A breakfast bar and adjoining sitting area bring new warmth and versatility to
