Remarks

Secluded behind the original estate walls, noted architect Reginald Johnson's masterful recreation of a Tuscan villa is a surprise, sited on a flat one acre parcel in the quiet South Arroyo neighborhood of Pasadena and South Pasadena. Belying the ease of quick accessibility to downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, and freeways giving universal access to LA's network, the property offers a convenient retreat from our busy world. The Italian Renaissance Revival villa is structured with inspiring historic detail, the work of original craftsmen brought from Italy to ensure old world quality. The double doors to the two-story entry hall lead to an initial gathering space with classical columns, scaled impressively for formal gatherings, while the honed marble floors and warm woods are equally comfortable with today's barefoot indoor outdoor lifestyle. Owned by Pasadena luminaries for nearly a century, the 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom primary residence features voluminous space and height throughout with tall Palladian doors and windows filling the rooms with beautiful light and air. Formal living room and adjoining library - both with fireplaces, and a formal dining room all have direct access to outdoor patios, captivating gardens and the expansive lawn beyond. Warm, inviting chef's kitchen with
