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. The Leithead Estate is an exquisite property that is at once stately yet inviting, historic yet luxurious. Much more than just a home, it is a masterpiece of rare distinction and beauty. There is no doubt that Crown City has a new crown jewel, and it can be found at 580 South San Rafael Avenue.
