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.
