In 1924, Pasadena architect Clarence L. Jay designed this magnificent Italian Renaissance Revival estate for Chicago advertising executive, William Kester. Built during the Golden Age of California Architecture, the 5,593 square foot home is situated on over an acre of land. Original formal gardens frame the expansive back lawn which leads to a large secluded guest house, pool, spa and additional gardens beyond. The exterior of the home remains much as it appeared when the Kester’s first took residence including the footprint of the gardens. The interior went through an extensive renovation in 1996-97 executed by internationally acclaimed interior designer, Matthew White. Extraordinary craftsmanship was combined with historic detail to reinvent this classic Villa.
5 Bedrooms, 4.5 baths in the main house. 1 bedroom, 1 bath (with steam shower), kitchen and large living room in the approx 1200 sq ft guest house.
Offered at $6,700,000
