Description

Designed by legendary architect Paul R. Williams in 1924 and known as The Flint House, this extraordinary Spanish Colonial Revival estate is one of Pasadena's architectural landmarks. Thoughtfully positioned in the rolling hills of coveted Linda Vista, Williams oriented the residence to capture sweeping panoramic vistas that fill nearly every room with natural light. Approached through a gated courtyard shaded by mature olive trees, the arrival is both gracious and private. A rustic arched oak entry door opens to a welcoming foyer, where gleaming floors and classic Spanish Colonial Revival details create an immediate sense of calm. Throughout, details are executed with masterful restraint: hand-troweled stucco walls, a classic terracotta barrel tile roof, graceful arched openings, Saltillo tile floors, wrought iron detailing, French doors, exposed wood beams, and richly finished hardwoods. The formal living room centers around an elegant fireplace while framing spectacular vistas beyond. The adjoining formal dining room enjoys equally captivating views and flows effortlessly onto the covered terrace. Privately situated yet seamlessly connected to the main living spaces, the study is one of the home's most captivating rooms -- lined with custom shelving and wrapped in windows framing the surrounding landscape; an inspiring setting for quiet reading, conversation, or working from home. The kitchen is warm and inviting, thoughtfully designed with soapstone countertops, Saltillo tile floors, exposed beam ceilings, and a charming breakfast spot. A discreet powder room completes
