Description

The Work Family Residence, 1956, first time on the market in 65 years. The sprawling Tudor Ranch View Estate is on almost 2 acres above Linda Vista, off a private drive with bird's eye views of the San Gabriels, mature oaks, Pasadena City Hall and the Rose Bowl. A unique property, the spacious one-story home sits on an over 80,000 sqft lot with abundant open flat space to explore creating your own compound. In addition to the home's almost 3500 sqft, the 4-bedroom, 4-bath home includes a 547 sqft finished basement, a 770 sqft walk in attic and an oversized 680 sqft 3-car garage. A private and secluded setting, yet close to Old Town Pasadena, freeways, Downtown Los Angeles, the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys, shopping, and the area's many cultural and educational institutions. Comprising two parcels, the 80,352 sqft property contains a 50,498 sqft parcel and an adjoining vacant 29,852 sqft parcel with utilities, currently in progress to be untied. Commissioned by Robert Work, publisher of the Los Angeles Daily Journal, and his wife Nancy, an accomplished pianist. Designed by architectural designer Harry Webster, the home was built by renowned builders Shepard and Morgan, known for many San Marino and Pasadena custom homes. Webster, influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, is credited with having designed the French Pavilion at Epcot Center, and was a colleague and collaborator of modernist architect Walter S. White. The grand living room with original floor to ceiling wood paneling was designed to double as performance space for Nancy Work. This room is where she studied and recorded on her Steinway grand pianos. Off the kitchen is a large rustic wood paneled great room with vaulted ceilings and a brick mantle and hearth, which opens to a large deck for dining and entertaining. The home features a formal entry, powder room, dining room, a custom Judson Studios leaded glass window, original leaded glass windows throughout, and several 'outdoor rooms' and areas for entertaining and recreation, a pool, pool cabana, room for a pickleball or basketball court, raised beds and abundant natural grounds with native plants, many species of birds and cool breezes to enjoy on a warm day. A truly magical setting surrounded by nature, yet close to the heart of the city.
