One of the most extraordinary residential offerings in Southern California, 380 S. San Rafael Avenue stands as arguably Pasadena's premier estate, an irreplaceable Jacobean Tudor Revival masterpiece set on nearly 5 private, gated acres in the city's most prestigious enclave. Commissioned by the Bernard family and designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Morgan, Walls & Clements, the residence was completed in 1928 and represents an unparalleled combination of architectural significance, scale, privacy, and provenance. Hidden behind gates and enveloped by majestic oaks, manicured gardens, and rolling lawns, the approximately 18,665-square-foot manor commands breathtaking views across the Arroyo Seco, creating the rare feeling of an English country estate in the heart of Pasadena. Its iconic castellated tower, slate rooflines, leaded-glass windows, and exquisitely preserved period detailing showcase a level of craftsmanship and permanence that is virtually impossible to replicate today. Steeped in cultural history, the estate is recognized worldwide as the exterior of Wayne Manor in the original Batman television series and has been featured in numerous acclaimed film and television productions. Yet beyond its celebrated pedigree, the property offers every modern luxury, including a resort-caliber pool, pickleball court, private theater, and exceptional indoor and outdoor spaces designed for both intimate family living and grand-scale entertaining. Originally showcased in Architectural Digest, this singular estate is more than a home; it is one of Pasadena's defining landmarks and an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire what many would consider the finest legacy property in the city.

3 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ ACTIVE Status

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Linda Vista's most architecturally significant addresses. Sited atop a private road and seamlessly integrated into the hillside, this landmark mid-century modern residence was designed and built in 1961 by B. Williams in an enclave developed by S. Merendino, both faculty of the USC School of Architecture. Set on nearly one-third of an acre, the home commands unobstructed views of the San Gabriel Mountains, Pasadena City Hall, the Rose Bowl, and Brookside Golf Course. A panorama as enduring as the architecture itself. Inside, bamboo and terrazzo floors anchor a great room that opens with quiet authority. Steel, concrete, and glass create a living environment deeply connected to nature. Original 1960s details, including the oversized pivot door and steel-hooded fireplace, anchor the interior, while Fleetwood multi-slide doors open to panoramic view decks. Two primary suites are complemented by a third bedroom with an en-suite half bath below. Renovated by architect Tom Marble, the home received the Pasadena Historic Preservation Award in 2014. Marble later collaborated with the owners on the pool, spa, entertaining decks, and permaculture landscaping with Anigo Garden Design and Kelly L. Kinney.

2 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ Garden Grove HOA BLDG.

La Maison du Grove | Designed in 1960 by notable Pasadena architect James G. Resh, a pioneering voice in California's modern ranch movement, this rare ground-level garden residence rests along Pasadena's storied Millionaire's Row. Occupying a coveted corner position with no shared walls, the home offers the privacy, scale, and quiet presence more often associated with a standalone home than a condominium. Rooted in the optimism of postwar California modernism, the architecture embraces natural light, the surrounding landscape, and a seamless connection between indoors and out. Thoughtfully reimagined by Studio Sinergia in 2025, the interiors preserve the restrained elegance of the original architecture while introducing tailored millwork, custom plantation shutters, and carefully composed lighting throughout. At the heart of the home, an expansive living room is anchored by a sculptural fireplace and framed by oversized windows that draw soft natural light deep into the interiors. Just beyond, the dining room opens directly to a covered flagstone terrace where the sound of a tranquil water feature and the surrounding gardens create a sense of calm rarely found within the city. Dual-pane windows throughout lend remarkable stillness to the interiors, softening the world beyond into something distant and serene. The kitchen has been quietly refined with custom-painted cabinetry, a suite of new appliances, and a charming breakfast nook overlooking the lush central courtyard, creating an intimate setting for slow mornings beneath the trees. A long central corridor connects the private living quarters, where a generous guest bedroom and bath with dual vanities accompany the serene primary suite retreat. A dedicated laundry room is discreetly integrated within the plan. Ideally positioned in the heart of Pasadena, just moments from Old Town Pasadena, South Pasadena, and Highland Park, the residence is surrounded by some of the area's most celebrated cultural and outdoor destinations, including Brookside Park, Arroyo Seco Park, Arlington Garden, Norton Simon Museum, and The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. The residence also includes two assigned parking spaces and substantial storage within the shared garage. HOA dues include electricity, gas, water, trash, insurance, and maintenance.
