Property Description
Set behind a gated entrance for privacy, this grand estate is graced by gorgeous palm trees and fresh, new landscaping that enhance its serene and exclusive atmosphere. Discover a true architectural treasure with the Lunkenheimer Home, also known as the Kingsley Macomber Lunkenheimer Home, designed by the renowned architect Joseph J. Blick in 1905. The oldest house in the area, this Mission Revival Arts and Crafts masterpiece beautifully blends Asian influences with timeless elegance. Step through the original restored wrought iron front door with side breeze windows and admire the exquisite craftsmanship throughout. The home features original doors with brass hardware, restored sash windows rehung with new cording and replanted hardware, and stunning 17th-century fretwork swinging doors. The grand staircase impresses with mahogany railings, complemented by built-in mahogany cabinets, mahogany baseboards, and crown molding. Enjoy cozy gatherings around the original Batchelder tile gas fireplace with metal accents. Meticulously restored over a five-year period starting in 1989, this exceptional residence underwent extensive reconstruction, including a fully reinforced concrete foundation and steel structural reinforcements across all four floors, ensuring lasting strength and durability. Featuring 8 spacious bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, this historic home also includes a sunroom with slate floors and backyard access, a family room, a wine cellar, a large mahogany-paneled screening room with walnut floors, a 2-car garage, a metal roof, and a separate unfurnished guest apartment--offering both grandeur and modern comfort. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic masterpiece in the exclusive Pasadena Langham area, where heritage, elegance, and craftsmanship come together in perfect harmony.
