Welcome to 1234 El Mirador Dr, Pasadena
Project Description
El Mirador Ranch has been a monumental estate in the Linda Vista neighborhood for over 100 years. This Neoclassical masterpiece was originally designed by the noted firm of Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury. Originally owned by George and Nellie Hoffman, the same family has cared for this glorious estate for more than 50 years. Newly reinvented and completely updated, this historic property now offers an abundance of convenient and classic living space. A wonderfully landscaped front yard of abundant camellias, hydrangeas, azaleas, jasmine and garden roses welcomes you to a large plantation-like front porch. The main house opens at the second floor into a gorgeous formal living room with fireplace and library/solarium which spans the entire length of the house. The second floor also features a large guest bedroom with ample closet space and stunning guest bath with Italian tile, a beautiful formal dining room and a gourmet kitchen with Thermador appliances. The Family room includes a second fireplace, wet bar and bi fold windows allowing you to open up the room for indoor/outdoor entertainment. The third level offers a lovely foyer, two large guest bedrooms with walk-in closets, an oversized balcony, stackable washer and dryer, large master suite with walk-in closet, an additional closet, resort style bath with dual shower, double vanity and a soaking tub. The lower level boasts a hallway of cabinet storage, a state of the art home theatre fully equipped with a 70 inch smart TV and 5.1 surround sound, additional washer and dryer area, and tons of storage that could create a lovely wine cellar. The home has been set up as a true smart home featuring multiple indoor and outdoor audio zones, wifi, prewired for satellite/cable TV, and a home security system including cameras. The detached 3-car garage offers additional storage as well as an electric vehicle charge station.
