Design enthusiasts will love this striking home, conceived in Spanish Revival style by star architect Paul Williams. Built in 1929, this three-bedroom home combines characterful design elements such as wooden ceiling beams and moorish tiling with luxurious touches: think a private hot tub, a restaurant-quality ‘La Canche’ French stove and an enchanting bedroom set in its very own tower – Rapunzel, eat your heart out. Nestled within a gated community in the tranquil San Rafael Hills, this home is a fifteen-minute drive from charming Pasadena and closer still to the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium, making it the perfect choice for fans of American football. After a day exploring all that Los Angeles has to offer, cook up a feast on the state-of-the-art grill and savour your handiwork alfresco on the terrace, before finishing the day with a soak in the clawfoot bathtub or sipping a beer in the hot tub.

Local guide
About Pasadena
Ah, Pasadena! Non-Californians might overlook this gem of a community, but Southern Californians know that Pasadena stands on its own, despite being only 10 miles away from Downtown LA. Though technically its own city, you wouldn’t know it, as Angelenos flock here daily. You may remember a “Little Old Lady from Pasadena” from back in the day, but thanks to world-class museums, a bustling flea market famous for celeb sightings,...
