'The opportunity to acquire a Kaufmann-designed residence of this scale, on land of this magnitude, and in direct relationship to the Arroyo Seco are exceedingly rare. Such properties are not replicated.'Privately located on one of the last undivided parcels on ultra-prestigious South San Rafael Avenue, sits the Frederick G. Adamson estate. Sited on 2.71 acres at the top of a long, gated driveway with commanding panoramic views of the Southern Basin from the western bank of the Arroyo Seco, the estate offers scale, privacy, and permanence that can no longer be replicated.Gordon B. Kaufmann, AIA Fellow, who over his career partnered with Reginald Johnson, Roland Coate, and Jesse Stanton, was the architect behind Greystone Mansion, the Los Angeles Times Building, the Athenaeum at Caltech, and numerous other landmark works, earning recognition at the Paris International Exposition. His architecture is found throughout many of Southern California's most prominent enclaves, including Bel-Air, Hancock Park, Holmby Hills, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, and Montecito.This Italian Revival masterpiece reflects Kaufmann's timeless vision, revealing a residence that, while exceeding 10,000 square feet, retains a sense of warmth, intimacy, and effortless livability. Equally suited for grand entertaining and private retreat, the home exemplifies his celebrated ability to balance formal and informal spaces while capturing the site's commanding views and sweeping panoramas. A succession of terraces, balconies, and loggias extends the living experience outdoors, beautifully uniting architecture and landscape design.Original and updated details remain remarkably preserved, including lathe-and-plaster walls, a paneled walnut library, oak floors, intricate moldings, five fireplaces, 14.75 foot ceilings, clay-tile roofline, and period lighting and hardware reflecting a level of craftsmanship and integrity rarely seen today.Published in Architectural Digest in 1930 and held by only a handful of owners over nearly a century, the estate endures as a cultural artifact. Properties of this caliber do not trade often. When they do, they demand decisive, thoughtful ownership. This is one of those moments.Minutes from Caltech, the Huntington Library & Gardens, major studios, and Downtown Los Angeles, the Adamson Estate unites architectural significance, irreplaceable land, and enduring value.

Graciously sited on 4.19 majestic acres in the coveted area of Southwest Pasadena, this grand architectural estate with lighted tennis court and pool with commanding views on the banks of the Arroyo ranks as one of the largest residential parcels in Pasadena. Positioned at the furthest point of the street for optimal privacy - the brick and iron gated entrance, vast lawn and motor drive provides a royal approach to the residence designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Johnson, Kaufmann & Coate. Slightly elevated, this stately 1924 English Period Revival masterwork of concrete, brick clad and a pitched slate roof acts as a prominent focal point for visitors. Period fenestration, distinguished by leaded-glass windows wash interiors with soft, natural light. The formal entrance hall provides convenient access to both the public and private spaces, as well as the discrete powder room, rear patio loggia and yard. Formal living room, anchored with its cast concrete fireplace encased in exquisite wood paneling, formed concrete ceiling beams and french doors to the outdoors. The adjacent den provides for more casual lounging - with copious natural light and fireplace. Opposite, the dining room also provides exterior access and direct connection to the butler's pantry and adjoining chef's kitchen - both updated for more modern living. Breakfast room, den, guest bedroom with bath complete the first level.

Spacious primary bedroom with fireplace provides proprietary access to an outdoor balcony deck for viewing and respite. Upstairs guest bedroom with bathroom ensuite, as well as two additional bedrooms with a jack & jill bathroom configuration.

//Charles A Goodyear House, 'Knollcrest' by G. Lawrence Stimson, 1913// Built in 1913 for lumber baron Charles Goodyear and his wife, Henrietta, Knollcrest occupies 2.5 acres (Lots 18 and 19) within the original Oak Knoll subdivision. Widely regarded as one of the finest homesites in the development, its commanding position atop a gentle knoll--overlooking a sweeping front lawn--earned the estate its enduring name. //The residence was designed by prominent architect G. Lawrence Stimson, best known for the Wrigley Mansion. It is said that Goodyear commissioned the home, in part, to incorporate his extensive collection of custom-made furnishings and artifacts, resulting in a structure conceived to be entirely fireproof. Original wrought-iron gates frame the estate's 330' frontage along Oakland Ave, connected by a circular drive culminating in a porte-cochere. A rare secondary driveway, running N/S with automatic gate, is accessed via Allendale Rd. //True to Stimson's architectural language, the main residence features stately mahogany-paneled public rooms w/10' ceilings, upper-level bedrooms w/9' ceilings, hand-carved moldings, marble flooring and staircase, and living room w/restored Caucasian walnut floors accented by ebony inlay. Remarkably, much of the original woodwork and artisan-crafted built-ins remain intact and in exceptional condition. Living space spans three levels, with additional attic area above. //A secondary structure--recently updated w/full kitchen and BA--serves as a guest house, adjacent to garage w/BA, and pool. In total, Knollcrest comprises 8,713 sf of living space across all structures, complemented by an additional 5,087 sf of garage/storage space. //Following the Goodyears, the estate was stewarded by a succession of prominent families, including U.S. Steel president Thomas Cole and department store scion and philanthropist Samuel Robinson, before being acquired by the current owner in 1966. In 1968, Knollcrest was selected as the 4th Pasadena Showcase House and has since served as the backdrop for numerous motion pictures. //Defined by its rich history, architectural pedigree, prominent setting, and intact original acreage, Knollcrest stands among Pasadena's landmark estates. Offered for the first time in six decades, it represents a rare opportunity to steward a significant Los Angeles family estate for generations to come.

//Augustine S Gaylord House by AIA Fellows Myron Hunt & Elmer Grey, 1908//Located on a quiet cul-de-sac near S San Rafael Ave, the A.S. Gaylord House rests on a private 1.95ac of naturally wooded and landscaped land. Sited amongst giant mature oaks, Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey, arguably two of the most venerable architects of the era, purposefully incorporated the living spaces to take advantage of the shade created by these magnificent hardwoods and showcased the largest specimen in the center of the property. Completed in 1908, this Craftsman/English Period Revival home, was originally built for citrus rancher A.S. Gaylord, whose father was a member of President Ulysses S. Grant's cabinet. Thoughtfully preserved through the years, the house still displays much of the original artistry, craftsmanship and materials that make these landmark estates financial prohibitive to reproduce today, including its original: white cedar square paneled floor to ceiling wainscoting; narrow-plank hardwood flooring; coffered ceiling beams and curved walls of tall leaded glass casement windows on entry and upper floors. As with many of the works by Hunt & Grey, the sense of proportion and flow between spaces is masterful. Light and bright, designed before air conditioning, French doors and rows of windows were positioned to allow for maximum light and air flow through the property. Completely gated, the bucolic, shaded drive to the main house meanders past 2-story guest cottage and garage to the main approach, opposite the street side, as to not disturb the privacy of the family.Secluded and private, one of the few original homes designed by Hunt and Grey during their short 7-year partnership, 707 Rockwood Rd is a multi-generational family compound minutes from the studios of Burbank and downtown LA, set in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Pasadena. Described as 'One of handsomest of the many beautiful homes in Pasadena' when first completed, the A.S. Gaylord House exemplifies the grand residences of the Golden Age of So Cal residential architecture, showcasing meticulous wood craftsmanship and a warm, timeless aesthetic. //FEATURES// Main house: 1BR/2BA entry level, 5BR/4BA upper level, main & secondary staircases, modern elevator servicing entry and upper levels, basement with separate exterior staircase. Guest Cottage: 2BR/1BA, kitchen, living room. Automatic driveway gate, circular driveway, pool & spa.
