Marketing Remarks for 405 S Sierra Bonita Avenue Pasadena:
Noted architect L.C. Brookway built this spectacular two-story Colonial Revival residence in 1923. The home exudes architectural detailing. It is located in a prime Pasadena location on approximately 3/4 acre, adjacent to Caltech, Polytechnic School, and the Huntington Library. It has been extensively and meticulously updated with the finest design, materials, and craftsmanship.
This residence offers five bedrooms and five baths. One bedroom sits conveniently on the ground floor. First, a light-filled music room and great room anchor the main level. Next, four bedrooms and three bathrooms create ideal living on the second floor. Meanwhile, the outdoor area shines with a newly designed infinity pool and a modern guesthouse featuring accordion glass doors and beamed ceilings. Additionally, a professional-grade tennis court with LED lighting and a full outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and Lynx BBQ enhance the expansive rear yard. Together, they make this a premier Southern California property.
Furthermore, the property includes 600 AMP electrical service, a 1,004-square-foot guesthouse built in 2016, and a north/south-facing tennis court. An infinity pool and spa, also new in 2016, dazzle. A new sewer main, installed in 2015, ensures reliability. A circular driveway adds convenience. Finally, a temperature-controlled wine cellar completes the estate.
What a beautiful home. The idea of a pizza oven for entertaining sound fun. But I wonder how much use one gets out of such an item
