268 Wigmore Dr, Pasadena, CA 91105

Property Description

This beautiful gated estate, christened ''La Posada'', was designed by noted Pasadena architect Reginald Johnson for industrialist and champion polo player James A. Wigmore. A gorgeous Spanish Hacienda situated on a private road off South Orange Grove Blvd, just a stone's throw from the famed Tournament of Roses, is a fabulous example of Johnson's work. Framed by an amazing Moreton Bay Fig tree, the cast stone entry way leads to an elegant foyer embellished with antique chandeliers and fixtures. Original details have been preserved including coffered wood ceilings, generous brick loggia, gleaming hard wood floors, and a magnificent cast stone fireplace. The updated gourmet kitchen leads to a private terrace that overlooks the sprawling lawn. Venture down the staircase to a private retreat that features a family room with fireplace, two bathrooms, master suite, wine cellar, and an office which all can be accessed from a private ground level entrance. Perfect for extended family or guests. This home is ideal for year round entertaining with numerous patios and a beautiful lap pool. Buyer to verify all square footage and permits.
