714 Prospect Blvd Pasadena, CA 91103

Located in Pasadena's coveted Prospect Park National Register District, 714 Prospect Boulevard was designed between 1909 and 1911 by architect Louis du Puget Millar, whose work was deeply influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and a refined British architectural sensibility. Commissioned as the home of J.C. Brainard, one of Prospect Park's original developers, the residence sits within one of Pasadena's most architecturally significant neighborhoods, surrounded by notable works by Frank Lloyd Wright, Greene & Greene, Wallace Neff, the Heinemans, and others. Set on a deep, level 11,755-square-foot lot, the transitional Craftsman residence offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths across 3,137 square feet of living space. The home's striking curb presence opens to interiors rich with period craftsmanship, including box-beam ceilings, quarter-sawn oak floors, and beautifully preserved double-hung windows that fill the rooms with natural light. A gracious foyer connects the formal living and dining rooms, while a garden-facing studio room opens to the patio and backyard beyond.The kitchen has been completely reimagined with a warm, design-forward palette that balances heritage materials and modern performance. Terra-cotta floors from Mission Tile West anchor the space, complemented by Calacatta Apuano marble, Reform cabinetry, a granite island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a six-burner Wolf range with DeVol fittings. Throughout the home, Farrow & Ball paint and Forbes & Lomax switches lend quiet refinement, while custom millwork by Ah Hum Studio creates a built-in office nook, bookshelves, and daybed. Reform wardrobes and Liberty fabric drapery add thoughtful detailing across the bedrooms. Upstairs, four bedrooms radiate from the central landing, including the primary suite, with original maple floors continuing throughout. Bathrooms feature Mission Tile West tile alongside Water Monopoly fittings and WaterWorks fixtures, including a sculptural soaking tub and marble-lined primary bath. The grounds unfold as a private garden retreat. Drought-tolerant landscaping by Studio John Sharpe surrounds a saltwater pool finished with terra-cotta tile, complete with an automatic cover, cedar barrel sauna, and outdoor hot-and-cold shower. Mature citrus and persimmon trees dot the property, while a detached studio with terrazzo floors, Calacatta marble countertops, and a new Airtech system offers flexible space for guests, work, or creative pursuits. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored historic home in one of West Pasadena's most storied neighborhoods, moments from the Rose Bowl and Old Town Pasadena.
