OVERVIEW First imagined nearly 100 years ago by preeminent Pasadena architects Bennett & Haskell, this stunning Italian Revival estate has been faithfully and meticulously restored not just to its former glory, but far beyond. Perched atop a ridge commanding one of the city’s finest views, the Leithead Estate harkens back to a bygone era of glamour and luxury expressed through master craftsmanship.

To own this home is to own that which is both priceless and peerless as the property offers inimitable provenance (the original builder also built the Rose Bowl) and exquisite old-world artistry. Admiring the home’s extensive, century-old hand carved woodworking, one cannot help but feel connected to a time long ago, when mastery of one’s craft (and self ) were all-important.
During its painstaking 2.5 year renovation, no detail was overlooked and no expense was spared, both in restoration and modernization.
Discreetly encircled by privacy hedges, the sweeping horseshoe driveway and sprawling, manicured front lawn with fountain and rose garden are a fitting prelude to the grandeur that awaits within.
ENTRY FOYER The front door opens to a magnificent world of warm, rich woodwork perfectly counterbalanced with placid, cream-colored walls.

To the left of the entry is the luxuriously appointed gourmet kitchen. Reimagined with contemporary sensibilities and graceful aesthetics, it includes open access to the newly added family room and breakfast nook. One powder room sits off the kitchen and another off the family room.
Stepping into the grand, formal dining room is an enchanting experience unto itself. Be prepared for your dinner guests to swoon as they admire the resplendent beauty of the original, 1920’s chandelier and the stunning artistry of the surrounding woodwork.
LIBRARY A handsome library connects the dining and living rooms.
