Property Description

A truly rare opportunity awaits the architectural connoisseur. One of La Canada Flintridge's most distinguished historic homes, this legendary Spanish Colonial Revival estate is located in the most exclusive neighborhood. Built in 1922 for George Hanson & designed by renowned architect, Henry Harwood Hewitt, the home was built to be a replica of a Spanish castle with Moorish design. When Hanson began building his residence, he had only one neighbor. When the house was finished it sat in splendid isolation on a ridge overlooking the San Gabriel Mountains. In 1925, the home was the winner of the World Prize in Residential Architecture at the International Exposition of Architecture in New York. In 2008 a multi-year restoration was completed by extraordinary Pasadena Showcase House Designers, with meticulous attention paid to every detail. This incredible private compound on more than 3 acres exudes masterful Old World charm and boasts five bedrooms and ten bathrooms.
