Originally constructed in 1919 as part of the prestigious Arden Grove Subdivision, this residence is surrounded by the iconic works of famed architects like Gordon Kaufmann, Wallace Neff, and Roland Coate.Set on an expansive .5 acre flat lot, the home's design offers a grand front yard with a circular driveway and motor court, alongside beautifully manicured gardens. The private, gated rear space is an entertainer's dream, featuring a pool, spa, lush lawns, and multiple patios for outdoor enjoyment.Van Pelt's mastery in scale, proportion, and natural light is showcased throughout the home, which underwent a meticulous renovation both indoor and outdoor completed in 2020, which preserved the home's historic charm while incorporating modern conveniences and luxury upgrades all around. These include installation of an elevator, new copper plumbing, drain and sewer lines, four new HVAC units, three Navien tankless water heaters, and a new roof. The kitchen was completely transformed featuring all new appliances, cabinetry/marble, a center island, and expanded into the family room, creating the heart of the home. This space seamlessly blends with the original 1929 design, maintaining the integrity and proportions of the original rooms.A modern elevator was thoughtfully added, connecting the partially finished lower level, complete with a temperature-controlled wine cellar, to the entry-level and the upper floor, which houses four redesigned bedrooms and bathrooms.Located near Caltech, the Polytechnic School, and the Huntington Library and Gardens, the Jerrold E Walton House offers the ultimate in luxurious Southern California living. With its timeless design, state-of-the-art systems, and an updated floor plan tailored for modern life, this home is a rare find in one of Pasadena's most prestigious and private areas.
