788 Grand Avenue
Pasadena, CA 91105
Sold
Nestled along the banks of the Arroyo Seco, 'The Villetta', crafted by architect Paul Loveland in 1924 as his personal abode and workspace, stands as a splendidly adorned Italian countryside retreat. Enveloped by a sun-drenched central courtyard, this residence exudes an aura of hospitality, boasting numerous architectural marvels: ornate wrought iron gates and balconies, solid oak doors adorned with studs, a meticulously carved stone fireplace, rich walnut beams, lofty cathedral ceilings, polished hardwood floors, and a modernized gourmet kitchen. The luminous master suite on the main level opens gracefully onto the secluded courtyard, while a welcoming guest suite also resides on this floor. Two additional bedrooms on the ground level, one with a private entrance, offer versatility suitable for older children or a caretaker. Thoughtful renovations have expanded the dwelling to include a spacious family room with a fireplace, an office/library equipped with extensive built-in shelving, an exercise studio, and a refrigerated wine cellar. Outside, the meticulously groomed grounds feature mature foliage, elegant fountains, ambient accent lighting, and quaint courtyards reminiscent of a traditional Mediterranean garden.
