Marketing for 560 S San Rafael Ave Pasadena:
The Harris Residence, a Historic Tennis Court Estate, dazzles on South San Rafael Avenue. Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury crafted it in 1924, and now it eagerly seeks its fifth owner. Perched to capture San Gabriel views, this Mediterranean gem, enhanced with 1940s Regency style, impresses instantly. Nearly three-quarters of a flat acre flaunts a grassy lawn, a north/south tennis court, a swimmers’ pool with a bar cabana, a changing bathroom, and a patio loggia. Meanwhile, a circular motor court welcomes guests for grand entertaining.
Step inside, and the entry foyer greets you warmly. A handsome fireplace anchors the living room, while an elegant dining room, with a cocktail nook, shines with crafted moldings and oversized windows. French doors swing open to a fifty-foot sitting room, where original terrazzo flooring and glass sliders dazzle. Next, a paneled library/den neighbors a powder room. Then, the chef’s kitchen, boasting custom cabinetry and a breakfast alcove, opens to a vista-facing veranda for true California living. Upstairs, a central landing connects two primary suites, two bedrooms, and a study/porch, all served by three bathrooms. Additionally, the first floor houses service/nanny quarters with a bathroom and a laundry room. Finally, a breezeway links to a flower room/workshop and a two-car garage.
