Property Description
The Robinson House, masterfully crafted by architects Charles & Henry Greene in 1906, sits majestically on 3.36 sprawling acres overlooking the vast Arroyo Seco bluffs & the historic Colorado Bridge. Meticulously restored over 7 years by its third owners, this iconic mansion proudly showcases exquisite wood detail & artisan craftsmanship from a bygone era blending seamlessly with modern technology & amenities for today's discerning lifestyle. A long gated driveway, past wondrous landscaped gardens, offers a first breathtaking view of this architectural treasure. A dramatic two-story entry foyer, clad in rare Port Orford cedar, welcomes guests, and features a cantilevered staircase & an original mahogany stained-glass chandelier. Spectacular & spacious public rooms, furnished in original Greene & Greene furniture or period reproductions, capture panoramic views of the Arroyo. A stunning LR with Batchelder-tile fireplace & a handsome library with built-in inglenook seating & fireplace, provide intimate spaces to host friends. Enjoy romantic sunset views as you dine at a custom sushi bar, or in the magnificent formal DR with a gorgeous stained-glass chandelier. French doors lead out to a glorious terrace, an infinity-edged pool perched dramatically on the Arroyo banks with swim-up bar, an outdoor kitchen & numerous mesmerizing garden destinations. The newly-remodeled gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream with top-of-the-line appliances, a 14' center island & a built-in breakfast area with spectacular vistas. Four generous BR suites with custom closets & panoramic views, and a laundry room, grace the second floor. A back staircase continues to a darling guest suite with sitting room on the third level. A 2265sf basement houses a media room, wine cellar, billiard room, card room & storage rooms. Bask in the CA sun and enjoy the many enchanting garden rooms after an invigorating swim on the Arroyo's edge or a pickle-ball match. Stroll the leafy paths by the stream & wisteria-covered bridge; savor delicious pizza hot from the oven; relax by the romantic lily pond; enjoy delicious fruit from the orchard; be intoxicated by the fragrant rose garden; mediate in the Zen Japanese garden; camp out in a teepee under the night stars; stroll to Old Town for dinner & shopping; or catch an easy freeway to DTLA or the West side... the lifestyle possibilities are truly endless when you seize this magical once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Pasadena's ultimate Paradise!
