Property Description
A masterwork of design and beauty, 1370 Hillcrest Ave rests hidden behind a privacy gate and layers of manicured landscaping in Pasadena's premier Oak Knoll neighborhood. Built over a century ago and conceived by renowned architect David Ogilvie, this meticulously updated French Eclectic estate pairs refined interiors with picture-perfect outdoor spaces--offering a lifestyle both elegant and effortlessly livable. From the iconic Simons brick facade to the countless custom details within, this heritage home reveals a world of alluring beauty and refinement at every turn. Social gatherings in the living room are enhanced by lush garden views and a stately limestone fireplace while the formal dining room, served by a well-appointed butler's pantry, offers a graceful setting for memorable meals. The heart of the home rests in the impeccably renovated chef's kitchen, which showcases sumptuous materials, classic beauty, and top-tier industrial grade appliances. Open to a casual breakfast room with a soaring cathedral ceiling, radiant natural light casts a magical glow over your weekend brunches. The kitchen also opens to the family room, where folding glass doors lead to an enchanting side patio shaded by a towering sycamore. Tucked away for added privacy, the palatial primary suite boasts ceilings over 10ft, custom closets, and a luxurious ensuite with stunning stonework. Four additional ensuite bedrooms are found upstairs. Equally impressive inside and out, the home's expansive grounds offer a private paradise equally suited for grand scale entertaining or peaceful repose.
