Property Description
Designed by the esteemed architect Paul R. Williams, AIA, the V. Mott Pierce Residence, constructed in 1928, stands as a distinguished example of Mediterranean Revival architecture. Recognized under the Mills Act, this estate is situated in one of Pasadena's most exclusive enclaves. This meticulously crafted five-bedroom, five-bathroom residence epitomizes architectural grandeur, occupying approximately 1.7 acres across four parcels. The estate's lush grounds feature a network of meandering pathways, serene water elements, and auxiliary structures, enhancing the secluded ambiance. A striking entry foyer introduces the home's masterful design, showcasing carved pillars, a vaulted colonnade, and imported Italian tile flooring, all complemented by intricate, hand-wrought ironwork. The living room is distinguished by a massive fireplace surround and coffered ceilings adorned with an exquisite hand-painted motif. Expansive arched doorways lead to a terracotta-tiled terrace, affording panoramic views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the estate's original hand-excavated swimming pool. The library is enveloped in opulent wood paneling, reflecting the era's refined aesthetic. The elevated formal dining room is defined by a sequence of arched pillars and delicate ironwork. While the kitchen has been thoughtfully modernized, it retains its historical charm, and the adjacent breakfast alcove remains a focal point of architectural delight. The upper level comprises two primary bedroom suites, each flanking a central lounge area. A third lavish guest suite is positioned near the main entrance, while a separate caretaker's suite is discreetly located beyond the kitchen. Below the three-car garage, a private guest apartment with its own entrance. On the lower level, an original billiards room is complemented by a prohibition-era speakeasy bar and bath, seamlessly transitioning into a post-prohibition tiki lounge and dance floor. The residence also features a climate-controlled wine room and a private elevator that connects the garage to the entry level, accessible alternatively via a dramatic loggia stairway leading to the estate's entry courtyard.
