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 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 entertainment gallery, designed by one of the leading architectural firms of the 1970s, Ladd & Kelsey, 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. Property and opportunity details provided by seller or others; buyer to verify.
