Marketing Remarks for 405 S Sierra Bonita Avenue Pasadena:
Noted architect L.C. Brookway built this spectacular 2-story Colonial Revival residence in 1923. The home exudes architectural detailing. The residence is located in a prime Pasadena location, on approximately 3/4 acre. The home is adjacent to Cal Tech, Polytechnic School, and the Huntington Library. It has been extensively and meticulously updated with the finest design, materials, and craftsmanship.
The residence features five bedrooms, one conveniently located on the ground floor, and five baths. A light-filled music room and great room anchor the main level, while four bedrooms and three bathrooms provide ideal living on the second floor. The extraordinary outdoor features include a newly designed infinity pool and a modern guesthouse with accordion glass doors, and beamed ceilings. There’s also a professional surfaced tennis court with LED lighting and a full outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and Lynx BBQ, complementing the expansiveness of the rear yard and making it a showcase Southern California property.
The property boasts 600 AMP electrical, a 1,004 square foot. guest house (new in 2016), a professionally surfaced N/S tennis court, an infinity pool and spa (new in 2016), a new sewer main (2015), a circular driveway, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar.
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
