Description
The Knoll House, designed by Myron Hunt and Gordon Kaufmann AIA in 1916, is Pasadena's largest single-family residence. Located in the prestigious Langham Huntington Hotel area, this 100-plus-year-old, 32,000-square-foot estate has been meticulously restored, blending modern luxury with old-world charm. This leafy gated estate delights with original flourishes, including hand-carved moldings, book-matched wood paneling, nine wood-burning fireplaces, and original floors. The grand entry welcomes you with Italian marble floors, soaring ceilings, and Quantum wood windows. An expansive main house offers a spacious flow for everyday living, with a grand living room, a wood-paneled library, formal dining room with Zuber's Passage Italian scenic wallpaper, a chef's kitchen, breakfast room, butler's pantry, restored English Pub, and a family room. In contrast, a separate gallery provides the square footage for lavish hosting, museum-quality art exhibitions, movie premieres, wine tasting, and game tournaments. Enjoy vino from the 2,500-bottle wine cellar, a refreshing tropical beverage from the custom Tiki Bar, or explore six secret doors, some leading to commercial-grade elevators to take you to other areas in the property. The alfresco California lifestyle awaits in the outdoor pavilion, swimming pool, or verdant grounds.
