This architecturally significant Reginald Johnson craftsman style home has been lovingly restored and immaculately maintained. Located in the Oak Knoll district north of the Langham Hotel and just a half a mile south of Pasadena's Lake Street business district, this stately home sits nestled among its several garden areas on an elevated .54 acre lot. The first floor features a sophisticated living room, a spacious library, and a natural wood-paneled formal dining room. A gourmet kitchen with copper and granite counter tops has chef-quality appliances, a bright breakfast area, and a convenient butler's pantry providing an extra kitchen sink and scads of storage. From the kitchen, there is a staircase providing access to the sizeable basement below. A lovely guest-bedroom suite completes this main level. The second story consists of an office with a view of the mountains, a delightful master suite with fireplace, another large room with attached enclosed porch plus three other bedrooms. An additional staircase leads to the spacious atelier above. A generous covered patio outside the dining room overlooks the spacious backyard and is perfect for entertaining. Over the detached two-car garage is a mother-in-law's suite with its own separate entrance and full bathroom. Originally built for the wealthy Rumsey family from Chicago in 1914, this is the perfect home for a multi-generational family.
