About This Home
As of June 2025Welcome to Pasadena's prestigious Oak Knoll Neighborhood where a treasure trove of stunning character homes, storied estate properties, and picturesque outdoor scenes combine to create an incomparable backdrop for daily living. Veiled by a curtain of lush landscaping and towering trees, 1205 S Oak Knoll Ave offers a rare sense of seclusion in this highly coveted pocket. Behind the understated exterior lies an elegant, thoughtfully designed single-story residence surrounded by natural beauty. A large foyer blends grandeur and grace as it welcomes you inside. Radiant sunlight pours in, illuminating the handsome hardwood floors and detailed woodwork featured throughout. To the right, the formal living room is an immaculately lit space with a massive bay window and a striking pink marble fireplace, perfect for upscale hosting or simply relaxing with a tranquil view. The updated chef's kitchen with breakfast nook rests nearby, balancing luxury and utility with style to spare. Top-tier appliances include a Wolf range, Miele oven, and Subzero fridge, while gorgeous NEFF cabinetry offers abundant storage. The only thing missing is your copy of The French Laundry Cookbook adorning the countertops. Once you've placed your finishing touches on the evening's feast, breeze into the elegant dining room overlooking the Zen garden and patio. For more casual occasions, the family room includes a second fireplace and a sliding door that opens to the backyard. In the summer months, pair the soft glow of the day's fading sun with a gentle breeze to create the perfect setting for cozy movie nights, board games, and moments of togetherness. Down a long hallway each of the four large, sunlit bedrooms includes its own private ensuite. In the rear, a low-maintenance wrap-around backyard with a stone path evokes the calm of a Zen garden. There's a rare intentionality to 1205 S Oak Knoll Ave, where architecture, light, and sumptuous materials work in harmony to create an exquisite ambiance. Every room, every detail has been shaped to support a more peaceful and joyful experience of daily life.
