A rare courtyard estate in Pasadena’s prestigious Lombardy Road enclave, this 1931 Wallace Neff Mediterranean masterpiece blends timeless design with modern luxury across gated resort-style grounds. A sweeping tree-lined drive leads to a manicured façade framed by gardens and mature landscaping. Enter through the arched stone portico and wrought-iron front door into a grand foyer with century-old terracotta original Spanish tile flooring. The formal living room showcases a signature Neff fireplace, vaulted beamed ceilings, and arched windows and French doors overlooking the pool, gardens, and an outdoor living room embraced by vibrant bougainvilleas. The formal dining room opens to a terrace with mountain views and flows seamlessly into the entertainer’s kitchen. The chef’s kitchen features an oversized island, professional-grade appliances, and a separate wok kitchen—designed for everything from casual meals to grand-scale entertaining. Upstairs, the grand primary suite, which offers balconies with mountain and garden views, a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath with soaking tub and rainfall shower.

The exquisitely crafted lower level is dedicated to leisure, offering a private theater, game room, billiards lounge, and a climate-controlled wine cellar. Outdoor living is unrivaled, with a full kitchen and bar pavilion connecting to the pool, spa, firepit lounge, and expansive lawn. Terraces, balconies, floor-to ceiling French doors and oversized windows throughout the property invite natural light and garden views at every turn.
