Tucked away in the central beat of Pasadena, 1155 Arden Road stands as a testament to the opulent and spirited lifestyle that this historic municipality so generously provides. Pasadena is celebrated for its array of cultural landmarks, offering a sophisticated yet quaint ambiance. This freshly-constructed, gated estate up for grabs for $9,388,000, revolutionizes the definition of indulgent abodes with its stellar architecture and contemporary conveniences, affording a distinct living encounter in one of the most coveted spots in Southern California.
Market by Sarah Rogers of The Agency with collaboration from Annie Deng and Manuela Villa of Compass, this property is an exceptional discovery. Perched atop a knoll and overlooking the street on distinguished Arden Road, this southward-facing domicile spans over 6,000 square feet, expertly conceptualized by Rismondo Design. The grandiose gated threshold ushers you into an ambiance where meticulous detail and superior artisanship are unmistakably apparent.
The ornate circular driveway paves the route to an integral garage, setting the precedent for the grandeur within. Inside, towering ceilings, bespoke millwork, and Croatian oak wooden floors span the expanse. Flush-mounted doors from Bluinterni Italy, coupled with deluxe lighting from Masiero, Gervasoni, and Artemide, contribute to the dwelling’s visual charm. The ground level is engineered for lavish social gatherings and homely comfort, featuring expansive family, living, and dining areas with a sweeping vista of the secluded estate. The ambiance is further enriched with two hearths, while wide-panel sliding portals merge the interior with exterior living areas. High-grade panoramic windows from Cortizo, Spain, bathe the space in daylight, offering picturesque views of the greenery.
The state-of-the-art kitchen is a culinary enthusiast’s vision come to life, adorned with appliances from Wolf and SubZero, bespoke cabinets by Key Cucine, and a majestic 16-foot DEKTON stone centerpiece. Nestled against the perimeter of the property, an open-air deck showcases a complete stainless steel cookery, replete with a 40′ grill, an auxiliary burner pair, a bar, fridge, and sink—a quintessential setting for outdoor feasting and revelry. The domicile houses five bedrooms, inclusive of a lavish principal suite with a bath area akin to a personal spa, twin walk-in closets designed by Veneran, Italy, and a secluded veranda. Nearly all chambers boast individual exterior niches, ensuring peaceful sanctuaries for inhabitants and visitors alike. The opulent washrooms gleam with fittings, cabinets, and bathtubs from Cerasa, accentuating the residence’s sumptuous atmosphere.
As an added gain, situated beyond the bounds of the lawn, the grounds harbor a newfangled 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath ADU constituted with a similar caliber of fabrication as the principal build. This secluded enclave is supported by a wholly outfitted upscale kitchen and an in-unit washer dryer setup. The verdant surroundings are dotted with fully-grown trees, neatly cropped turf, and a newly installed bright swimming pool with adjacent spa, creating an idyllic haven for rest and merrymaking.
