Rare All-New House in Pasadena’s Linda Vista Neighborhood – DIRT

When it comes to outstanding features, this contemporary estate has all the bases covered! Not only is the brand-new house sited in Pasadena’s prestigious Linda Vista neighborhood pocket, but it’s also architecturally interesting from the inside-out and within walking distance of the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium. And now it could be yours, provided you have an extra $8 million burning a hole in your proverbial pocket.

Resting on an oak tree-laced parcel spanning more than a half-acre, along the Rose Bowl’s western bank, the striking vertical wood-clad and gable-roof structure is highlighted by a main house featuring four bedrooms and five baths in 5,200 square feet of warm and inviting living space on three levels. Matching accessory dwellings include a guesthouse and studio/office— each coming in at 600 square feet — plus a 200-square-foot poolhouse.

Developed on speculation in 2021 and designed by rossdesign, the compound is fronted by a crescent-shaped motorcourt and a duo of two-car garages that flank the front entrance. Inside, the main level is highlighted by a spacious great room boasting a combination living/dining room area with a soaring vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling fireplace and glass sliders spilling out to the backyard.

Around the corner, a galley-style kitchen sporting custom milled cabinetry and top-tier stainless appliances opens to an al fresco dining terrace. A primary suite equipped with a paneled dressing room and spa-like bath also can be found on this floor, along with an ensuite guest bedroom and den/library. A floating staircase tucked away behind wood shelves heads upstairs, where two additional bedrooms have their own balconies and share a bath.

On the lower level, a spacious media/entertainment/play space rests beneath a metal-beam ceiling and displays a steel-clad linear fireplace embedded in a wall composed of beige-colored bricks. Particularly standing out is the picturesque backyard, where a large pool and spa are surrounded by the aforementioned guesthouse, office/studio and poolhouse with its own wood deck and fire-pit — all shaded by majestic California oaks.
