:: The Simpson Estate, 1909 — A landmark of architectural integrity and refined restoration, The Simpson Estate is a masterfully reimagined compound that artfully bridges the past with the present. Set on an expansive nearly 17,000 sq. ft. lot in the heart of Pasadena, this historically significant property—originally built in 1909—has been painstakingly restored and thoughtfully modernized to meet the demands of contemporary living, all while preserving the authentic character and craftsmanship of its early 20th-century origins. Anchoring the estate is a stately four-bedroom, four-bathroom main residence—an elegant structure that exudes timeless grace. From its earliest days as a family home where poultry and goats once roamed, the property has passed through the hands of dedicated stewards for over a century. Nearly 100 years after its initial construction, the estate underwent a major period-sensitive restoration, carefully upgrading critical systems and the foundation, while preserving the home’s architectural soul and optimizing its layout for modern family life. — Timeless Architecture, Modern Comfort — The main residence welcomes you with a grand formal entry, bathed in natural light that streams through meticulously reproduced double-pane Victorian-style windows—a rare and beautiful feature in homes of this vintage. Throughout the home, original details—hardwood floors, handcrafted moldings and millwork, classic window casements, decorative columns, and an ornate fireplace mantle—speak to the era’s artistry and are increasingly rare to find intact today. The reimagined floor plan was designed with both functionality and elegance in mind. The lower level offers distinct areas for entertaining, including a cozy media room or den, and a spacious formal living room ideal for intimate gatherings. A generous dining area flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen outfitted with premium upgrades: a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, apron-front sink, custom prep station with island, vintage-inspired lighting and fixtures, and abundant custom cabinetry. A large, separate laundry/mudroom adds everyday convenience. A main-level guest bedroom and hall bath offer private accommodations for visiting friends or extended family. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample room for family life, personal retreat, and additional storage. The primary suite is a serene haven, featuring dual walk-in closets, an en-suite bath with double vanities, vintage mirrors, and a luxurious soaking tub. Each secondary bedroom includes its own bath and generous closet space. An easily accessible attic above the main home provides additional room for storage. Beyond the main residence lies an expansive, private outdoor space offering endless potential, including the possibility of a pool. At the rear of the property stands a fully detached 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house complete with its own kitchen and a spacious, versatile layout—ideal for extended family, private guest quarters, an au pair suite, office, or gym. With the potential for additional rental income, this second residence elevates the estate’s versatility. Additional features include a garage and carport, both offering extra storage space via separate attic access, and ample parking. 1411 N. Los Robles represents a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Pasadena’s architectural and cultural history. A true legacy estate, The Simpson Estate is a masterclass in preservation, seamlessly integrating historic elegance with contemporary comfort across an irreplaceable compound.
