About this home
Majestically poised in Pasadena's sought-after Arroyo neighborhood, the Charles E. Davis House is a distinguished Colonial Revival estate designed by renowned architect Roland E. Coate and carrying the storied provenance of a past family connection to famed chef Julia Child through her father, John McWilliams, the home's second owner. Thoughtfully remodeled in 2018 for today's lifestyle and elevated in 2020 by a stunning guest house, this property sits on three-quarters acre of manicured grounds and marries timeless architectural pedigree with an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The stately facade reveals Coate's hallmark of grand proportions and livable elegance. A formal entry beckons guests into a gracious living room, a handsome library, an inviting dining room, balanced by a comfortable family room with movie projector and screen, and an adjoining sunroom, where boundaries between house and the lush gardens dissolve. At the heart of daily life is a charming chef's kitchen, breakfast area and back kitchen, while two main-level guest suites, powder rooms and laundry room add welcomed practicality. Gracing the second level, the sumptuous primary suite and four additional BRs capture serene treetop views, served by three beautifully-remodeled bathrooms, laundry room and two staircases, creating restful and private quarters. Outside, the resort-like grounds evoke magic, with numerous entertaining terraces, fire pit, salt-water pool, play area, vegetable garden, chicken coop, music speakers and sweeping lawns that turn gatherings into occasions. The exceptional accessory structure with 18' glass bifold doors, beamed ceilings, two bathrooms and a bonus room, seamlessly flexes as an entertainment pavilion, creative studio or a stylish place for guests. Gated and private, and with close proximity to Arroyo hiking trails, Old Town shops, restaurants and an easy connection to DTLA and the Westside, this estate truly is a quintessential Pasadena legacy, authentic in character, meticulous in execution and abundantly livable for today's discerning buyer....
