325 S Grand Ave

This stunning shingled Hamptons-style residence, originally built in 1895, was recently fully restored and completely renovated from the ground up with no expense spared. Located on one of southwest Pasadena's most historic streets, this charming home occupies a prime position in a neighborhood adorned with remarkable architectural properties. The impressive facade is stately but welcoming with a charming large front porch inviting friends to linger on the porch swing. Entering the home, a grand foyer with a graceful staircase immediately introduces architectural elements found throughout the home: beautiful wood moldings and detailed trim work which speak to a bygone era of true quality craftsmanship. The home was recently decorated by sought after design firm Nickey Kehoe, beautifully blending traditional appointments with a savvy color scheme and freshness. The formal living room centers on a beautiful carved limestone fireplace flanked by two sets of double doors which connect it to the family room. The dining room is anchored by an impressive limestone fireplace as its focal point and opposes a stunning mural wallpaper. A large and dramatic executive office sits at the front of the house with a curved front wall and, adding a sense of whimsy, a hidden panel in the bookcase leads to a bathroom and additional back staircase. The gourmet kitchen features top of the line appliances and is attached to the breakfast room which features an incredible semi-circular glass-roofed and sun-filled conservatory. A finished two-car garage equipped with built-in storage, EV charging outlets, and laundry complete the main level. On the second floor, 4 generously proportioned, sunlit bedrooms each enjoy en-suite bathrooms with beautiful, top of the line fixtures and fittings. Additionally, a capacious wood-paneled bonus room offers versatility as a media space or home office with pitched beamed ceilings and cozy window seats, a perfect retreat. Access to the backyard from the family room, dining room and kitchen leads to an elegant patio for alfresco dining and lounging. Meandering paths and stairs lead to the verdant lower levels dotted by old growth trees and a large flat area currently used as a children's play area. With sweeping vistas across the Arroyo Seco this exquisite property is a prime example of true Pasadena luxury, a historic property with stunning light and views in close proximity to the best restaurants and shops of Pasadena.
