1506 E California Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106

Property Description

Three visionary architects, Reginald Johnson, Gordon Kaufmann, and Roland Coate, joined forces in 1922 to create the new California Style of architecture. This collaboration was a significant moment in the history of Southern California's architectural landscape, marking a departure from the prevalent architectural trends of the time. In 1924, they designed this one-story Early California Rancho beautifully sited on a 26,000+ square foot lot set back from the street and shielded by mature trees and hedges. Located in the CalTech/ Huntington Library area of Pasadena. The City of Pasadena has determined that the Thomas House is eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Designed in a U shape around a generous patio, the floor plan has a sense of unity and simplicity, offering ease and flow to the public and private areas of the home. The house has 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, a formal entry with a barrel vaulted ceiling, a dining room with fireplace, a living room with a fireplace and vaulted ceiling, and a large tile floor galleria. Graced by solid wood carved doors, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and parklike views from nearly every vantage point. Experience outdoor hospitality with a sparkling pool, patios, and charming landscaped gardens featuring meandering decomposed granite paths. Adorned with fruit and olive trees, vibrant roses, and fragrant, drought-tolerant plants. The perfect retreat under a grand oak tree is a charming studio guest house with a 3/4 bath and a welcoming front veranda. Cherished by its current owner for over four decades, this beloved property is ready for someone new to care for and preserve it. Take advantage of this opportunity to own a piece of history and make it your own.
