Property Description
An extraordinarily private, park-like setting provides the ideal backdrop for this South Pasadena architectural compound. Initially developed from what had been the carriage house of the La Willinda estate- a 1914 design by architect Louis duP Millar for lumber merchant W.E. Cooper. The Irish born architect, who was also coincidentally cousin to radio inventor Marconi, was an important figure in early 20th century Pasadena architecture. It is a legacy that is still evident today- most notably along the Arroyo, on California Blvd and Green Street. The property was recently transformed and expanded by its artistic owners- with a glass walled intervention to the original Millar structure creating a modern kitchen, dining, and living area. It draws a distinct line between the 1914 building and recent addition, gracefully bridging it to the storied history of the long ago adapted and recently restored carriage house. Fleetwood doors and windows wrap the high ceilinged and open plan addition in glass. A gourmet kitchen with a luxurious mix of finishes and all Thermador appliances is at its center. Walnut built-ins, European Oak plank flooring, Italian tile, and vintage mid-century lighting add to its distinctive character. An extensive and detailed updating of the home's systems was undertaken at this same time. Additionally- a newly-built, detached two car garage and adjoining guest house with full bath + kitchenette establish total privacy facing Chelten Way. Beyond the circular driveway and front gate, a 40 ft brick entryway path is shaded by a pergola and the 90-year-old Wisteria that is woven through it. An updated, heated, and centrally positioned pool further bolsters the property's oasis-like feeling. The surrounding gardens are remarkably tranquil and lush; with meandering pathways, manicured landscaping, and mature Oak, Carob, Podocarpus, Japanese Maple, Olive and Grapefruit trees. A truly unique property in one of the most desirable enclaves of South Pasadena- it must be experienced in person in order to fully grasp all that it has to offer.
