About This Home
As of September 2023Welcome to 2285 E Orange Grove Blvd, a truly exceptional residence with a captivating history and an array of modern conveniences. With 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a wealth of thoughtful features, this home seamlessly blends elegance, sustainability, and technological innovation. Step into a world of privacy and elegance as you enter this beautiful 1920s French Revival home. The front entrance, adorned with majestic gas lamps, once greeted Gustav Fassauer-Ferron, the esteemed German violin maker who made this residence his own. Mr Ferron retired in Pasadena and established the renowned Arcade Violin Shop on the 2nd floor of the Arcade Building in downtown Pasadena. A grand fireplace mantel from Normandy, France commands the living room, while an antique German hutch anchors the dining room, exuding old-world charm. Hand-made doors from India grace the master suite, located on the first floor, which also features pressed metal ceilings from Tennessee. Two additional bedrooms, along with a second bathroom, are conveniently situated on the main level. Upstairs, a versatile loft with its own bath offers endless possibilities as a library, retreat, or gaming area. Its excellent design, state of preservation, and contribution to the East Orange Grove neighborhood's architectural and historical context solidify its place in Pasadena's esteemed history. Fully paid-off solar panels provide energy efficiency, while a Tesla charging station ensures you are always ready for the road ahead. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying quiet moments of relaxation, this residence caters to every lifestyle need. The open floor plan invites seamless flow throughout the home, while the massive patio creates an enchanting outdoor oasis; surrounded by lush foliage, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Accessible from every room, it becomes an additional living space, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. Discover a gym/studio, with a built-in steam room, a wine cellar for connoisseurs, and an exterior in-law suite with a private spiral staircase entrance. The opulent iron gazebo, accompanied by a plunge pool and cascading waterfall, beckons you to unwind and indulge in the tranquility of your surroundings. Conveniently located near Eaton Canyon, the Huntington Library, and the Los Angeles Arboretum, this home offers an unparalleled lifestyle.
