The prestigious Knoll House<\/a> in Pasadena, CA,<\/a> broke a record<\/a> when it was listed in 2021 for $48 million.<\/p>\n

On and off the market over the past couple of years, the estate is now available for $36.5 million. Despite the price cut, it\u2019s still the most expensive home in Pasadena.<\/p>\n

The 2.38-acre estate was designed by famed California luxury designers Myron Hunt<\/strong> and Gordon Kaufman<\/strong>. They created some of the area\u2019s most impressive architectural landmarks, including the Huntington Library, the Huntington Hotel (now the Langham), and the original Los Angeles Times building. Kaufman is perhaps best known for his work on the Hoover Dam.<\/p>\n

In addition to its prodigious price tag, Knoll House ranks as the largest single-family residence in Pasadena. It\u2019s quietly situated on a private cul-de-sac in the city\u2019s most esteemed neighborhood, near the prestigious Langham Hotel. This is where Gilded Age barons built their lavish West Coast winter homes.<\/p>\n

The sumptuous estate has retained its stately elegance over the years. It was reportedly<\/a> once owned by televangelist,\u00a0Gene Scott<\/strong>, who died in 2005. Current owner, philanthropist, and financier John Vidalakis<\/strong>\u00a0spent more than seven years meticulously restoring the place.<\/p>\n

Two stately structures now comprise the estate: the lavish main residence, which built in 1916, and a spacious entertainment gallery. They\u2019re connected via an underground passageway. Guests make a grand entrance through wrought iron gates leading to circular driveway of hand-set and reclaimed bricks.<\/p>\n

The grand main residence was built by Peter Hall<\/strong>. It measures about 12,300 square feet and has six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and nine fireplaces.<\/p>\n

Original features include hand-carved moldings, book-matched wood paneling, nine fireplaces and original wood, tile and marble floors, some imported from Italy.<\/p>\n

Among the more lavish features are a gleaming, white kitchen with two large islands and Wolf and Miele appliances; a stately, wood-paneled library; a cool children\u2019s play area; and even a gift-wrapping room. There\u2019s also a traditional sun porch, which has been updated into a sunny homework space\/office.<\/p>\n

The home\u2019s entertainment gallery was built for the most discerning art collector and entertainer. It includes a two-story atrium gallery, full tiki bar with handcarved Tikis, and a custom Tiki fountain. Plus, there\u2019s a 46-seat movie theatre with acoustic panels.<\/p>\n
