---Wallace Neff Estate on over 1 Acre in the Langham/Oak Knoll District---Designed in 1928 by noted architect Wallace Neff, FAIA, and described as an 'Extremely Dignified Spanish Revival,' this exceptional estate is located in Pasadena's prestigious Langham district and set on approximately one acre of landscaped, terraced grounds. Commissioned by Adolphus and Lilly Anheuser Busch, for their granddaughter, Mrs. Sidney Berg, the property reflects classic architectural detail combined with thoughtful modern updates. A dramatic two-story oval entry hall features black-and-white Belgian marble floors, original ironwork, and an antique chandelier believed to be original to the home. Formal living and dining rooms, along with a Honduran mahogany-paneled library, offer generous scale, 12-foot ceilings, and direct access to gardens, terraces, and pool. The residence includes six bedrooms, most with en-suite baths, including a primary suite with dual marble bathrooms and dressing areas. Additional features include a butler's pantry, utility elevator, and a circular motor court with three-car garage. The home has been extensively updated over time under the direction of architect David Serrurier, including a renovated kitchen with Carrara marble counters, Wolf range, and Sub-Zero appliances; updated bathrooms; reconfigured living spaces; and improvements and upgrades to major systems. Grounds are designed for privacy and entertaining with multiple terraces, mature cypress trees, rose gardens, citrus plantings, and outdoor living areas. Amenities include a built-in BBQ kitchen, outdoor fireplace, play sport court, and a renovated pool and spa with a dedicated pool house/cabana featuring a kitchen, bath and dressing rooms. A rare offering combining architectural pedigree, expansive grounds, and modern livability in one of Pasadena's most sought-after neighborhoods.
