Single Family Residence in Pasadena, CA

On a serene hillside in prestigious Linda Vista, 988 Glen Oaks Blvd is a completely reimagined residence where home exists as art. Glorious views, meticulous attention to detail, and an array of rare natural materials harmonize to evoke a sense of transcendence in this one-of-a-kind sanctuary. An exquisite expression of Asian-inspired design, the home was fully renovated from 2015-2017 with custom elements all throughout. Even before entering, a sense of peacefulness embraces you in the Zen garden with its soothing water feature and footbridge leading to the handcrafted front door. The main level unfolds in a graceful, open plan where the living room, dining room, and kitchen effortlessly flow together. Rare, reclaimed chestnut floors and soaring ceilings create an immediate sense of warmth and scale, while exposed, hand-hewn solid oak beams inlaid with handcrafted tiles showcase the home's artistry. Expansive windows and glass doors frame breathtaking views also enjoyed from two private porcelain-tiled balconies. The kitchen is both elegant and highly functional with custom cabinetry crafted from reclaimed chestnut and antique hinges imported from China, Wolf appliances, a SubZero refrigerator, and a generous breakfast bar topped with a walnut butcher block. An elegant powder room, wet bar, and direct access to the garage complete the main floor. Downstairs, the primary suite is both deeply restorative and exceptionally beautiful. Thoughtfully designed, this retreat features a built-in bamboo bed, artisan light fixtures, and a granite fireplace. The stunning ensuite, inspired by the Japanese wet room tradition, includes river rock flooring, dual vanities, custom mosaic tile mural, and a soaking tub looking out to the lush valley below. The suite also enjoys direct access to a wraparound entertaining balcony that spans the entire lower level and offers additional awe-inspiring views. Two more bedrooms, a versatile family room, and a full hallway bathroom complete the level. More than just a beautiful home, 988 Glen Oaks Blvd is a rare, immersive retreat where everyday rituals are elevated and luxury living is redefined.
