1265 Chateau Rd, Pasadena, CA 91105

New price improvement! Perched majestically above the tranquil Annandale Golf Club on a quiet cul-de-sac, this extraordinary custom estate, envisioned by renowned architect Michael C. F. Chan, unfolds a timeless masterpiece of French neoclassical opulence. The home is approached through secured front gate and a cobbled circular motor court. The grand entrance, lit by skylights, sets the tone for the home’s elegant interior and opens to a magnificent curved staircase with custom brass railings. Descending a few steps, the living room reveals itself, boasting a limestone fireplace beneath a soaring 15-foot ceiling and a panoramic wall of large windows framing views of the garden and lap pool & spa. The adjacent formal dining room, adorned with a RH chandelier, offers vistas of both the side garden and the atrium with a fountain, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor splendor. An elegant library/office, which can serve as a sixth bedroom, shares the atrium view downstairs. The gourmet kitchen, a triumph of culinary design, showcases top-tier appliances, including dual Miele dishwashers, a Wolf range and oven, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Marble-topped islands, granite countertops, custom oak cabinets, a built-in desk, and designer tile flooring complete the picture. The adjoining family room, with a marble fireplace and a mirrored wet bar with a wine fridge, opens onto the back terrace, featuring a convenient poolside bathroom. As you ascend to the upper level, you'll find two exquisite master suites, each boasting lavish baths. One of them includes a study room within the suite. Two additional bedrooms share a bath, with three of them offering enchanting views of the golf course. All upstairs bedrooms include unique tilt & turn windows. A separate guest suite, accessed by its own staircase to the north of the entry, offers a secluded haven for visitors above the 3-car garage. This is a unique opportunity to own a sanctuary of privacy and serenity in one of Pasadena's most prestigious locales. Close proximity to Old Town Pasadena, the Rose Parade route, Rose Bowl Stadium, top private schools, and easy access to multiple freeways further enhance the allure of this exceptional residence.
