Property Description

The finest work of renowned architect Reginald D. Johnson, this majestic 1928 Monterey Colonial estate is set on five acres in the heart of Pasadena.The Bauer/Cannell Estate & Gardens represents the union of architectural and horticultural artistry. .Owned by only two families over its 96-year history, the estate was designated in the City of Pasadena survey of Historic Gardens and is recognized as a contributing property in the proposed National Register Historic District. Most recently, the property was selected as the 2025 Pasadena Showcase House of Design in which 30 top designers remodeled and redesigned the estate for a month-long celebration of philanthropic events.The estate's grounds unfold like a private park, with sweeping lawns and paths through stately oaks, olive trees, and rose gardens. The main terrace overlooks a sparkling pool and pool house, while a canopy of trees opens to a north-south tennis court below. A sweeping circular drive leads to a motor court with a ten car garage and guest house. Inside, the residence offers 18 grandly scaled rooms, ten of which feature wood-burning fireplaces. Original architectural details have been beautifully restored alongside thoughtful modern updates. Steeped in history yet designed for gracious living, the Bauer/Cannell Estate & Gardens stands as a landmark of Pasadena's architectural and cultural heritage,a once-in-a-generation offering in one of the city's most distinguished neighborhoods.
