This 1920's Renovated Spanish Stunner is located in the coveted Huntington Library Estate area of Pasadena. In 2019, an extensive restoration was completed to bring this architectural gem up to today's standards while preserving its original charm and character. All systems have been completely replaced including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roof. The meticulous attention to detail is apparent throughout the home in the following items: Forbes & Lomax brass light switches, Farrow & Ball paint, and Murano Chandeliers in the living room, as well as several original light fixtures. Upon entering this home, the inviting foyer leads to the expansive living room and formal dining room. A classic fireplace is the centerpiece of the light filled living room, which leads out to a covered terrace through sets of French doors. Listen to the sound of trickling water from the fountain just outside of the dining room as you entertain your dinner guests. Preparing a feast will be a delight in this new gourmet kitchen complete with a Sub Zero refrigerator, a Wolf range, marble and mahogany countertops as well as Armac Martin solid brass handmade cabinet hardware. After a long day, enjoy reading a good book in the cozy library. The original staircase showcases a custom wool runner, which was hand loomed in Nepal, as well as an antique crystal chandelier. On the second level, a hallway of arches leads to four generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms that have all been updated. The primary bathroom will serve as your private spa with its air jet tub and Arabescato Corcia marble. The other two bedrooms are found on the main level and are currently being used as an office and a sewing room. The spacious, beautifully landscaped backyard will serve as a place to enjoy many lovely Pasadena afternoons. Living so close to Huntington Gardens will complete the dream.
