About the Listing PF10755 - P785794
This 1921 Italian Renaissance Revival Villa epitomizes historic Altadena. Built by designer Pasquale de Rosa, friend of the legendary Zane Grey, this exquisite compound on over half an acre is a work of art. Sited to enjoy spectacular mountain views, the property includes a main residence, guest quarters, barn studio, and beautiful gardens. There is beauty to be found everywhere here, in the natural surroundings to the classical symmetry and curves. Featuring an H-shaped plan, the home's distinctive roofline is defined by its rounded gables, sculptural carved rafter tails, and starburst oculi at the east and west of the facade. Three french doors at the entry elevation boast views through the central living room, and open to a harmonious floor plan. Connecting public and private spaces, while enjoying access to patios and gardens to the north and south, the room is anchored by a decorative fireplace, rich carved mahogany woodwork, and original candelabra sconces. An elegant formal dining room features coved ceilings and french doors, flowing naturally into an updated eat-in kitchen, while a quiet sitting room with its own decorative fireplace enjoys views and direct outdoor access. Throughout the property, details are exquisite: custom plaster moulding, elaborate trim and baseboards, and carved wood frames on casement windows and doors speak to the vision and craft of the original builder. The 2,875 SF main house offers four bedrooms, including two generous primary bedrooms, one with a full ensuite bath, the other with french doors opening to the backyard gardens. The gardens are magical, with a grassy lawn framed by sculptural conifers, fruit trees, a cactus garden, roses, gardenias, and fragrant herbs, with the majestic San Gabriels in the background. A large filtered koi pond and a separate decorative pond peacefully ground the space. The separate 632 SF back house with guest studio upstairs has handsome tongue and groove wood paneling, with a three-quarter bath, laundry and a garage with storage on the ground floor. Lastly, the onetime barn, now a studio, opens a world of possibilities as a home gym, gardener's studio, or future office. 1275 New York Drive is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a landmark property of genuine architectural significance in one of the Foothills' most cherished neighborhoods. Minutes from restaurants, coffee shops, retail and the cultural attractions of Altadena and downtown Pasadena, this transporting home is a
