Welcome to 1860 Braemar, comfortable elegance situated in Pasadena's coveted Inverness neighborhood in the Linda Vista Hills. Perched on a secluded knoll on nearly an acre, this open, light filled, regal yet comfortable, rambling one-story view and pool home, soars above Pasadena with panoramic and unobstructed views of the San Gabriel Mountains and iconic Pasadena Landmarks below. It is rare to find a home that marries such views with this degree of privacy. Designed in 1952 by architect Ivo Clarich and remodeled by architect Barton Choy, this well maintained single-level modern California architectural home features expansive walls of glass, clean lines, and an open floor plan integrating indoor and outdoor living. Glass sliders open to sprawling landscaped grounds that offer both exceptional privacy and natural beauty and open to several patios and outdoor seating spaces. The majestic gardens feature several species of flora and mature trees. The home features a large living room and great room that open to the panoramic views and gardens. There is a large primary suite with a fireplace, seating area, private patio, and newly remodeled oversize primary spa bath. There are 5 bedrooms total, two en-suite. The bright and airy home has a gracious view entry, vaulted ceilings, skylights, 3 fireplaces, solar, a wet bar, wine closet, wine fridge, recessed lighting, abundant storage, automatic outdoor lighting and irrigation, alarm system, a 4-car oversize garage with built-ins and a work space, and plentiful parking. A truly special property-extremely private, yet close to downtown Pasadena, freeways, local colleges and universities, DTLA, and more.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
