This published Spanish Colonial estate with Andalusian influences is sited on nearly a flat acre in the Linda Vista neighborhood of Pasadena. This estate has been meticulously renovated with painstaking attention to quality and detail. Gracious formal entry, living room, dining room, and a library all offer a casual elegance including thick white plaster walls, multiple archways, walls of windows, french doors out of almost every room and random width plank fir flooring throughout. There is a Hacienda style quality to the home and grounds offering covered loggias, patios, balconies and roof top decks. A large modern cook’s kitchen with Butler’s pantry, mudroom, guest bath, breakfast area, family room and two islands function beautifully for today’s lifestyle.

The artist studio attached by the loggia is phenomenal with original with thick walls of plaster, a huge fireplace, multiple arches, doorways, barrel ceilings and polished concrete floors and multiple skylights. A small kitchen/bar was added and the original art vault has been turned into an incredible storage room with library style built-ins.
