Pasadena, CA 91105

Step beyond the gates and into a world of timeless elegance and true hacienda living at the Charles H. Thorne House a remarkable 1928 estate designed by renowned architect Wallace Neff. Tucked away in the exclusive Los Altos neighborhood of Pasadena, this Spanish Colonial Revival residence is a rare example of Neff's early work, blending architectural grandeur with the quiet intimacy of a home built around a verdant central courtyard. Inspired by the Mission San Juan Capistrano, the residence is centered on a romantic, tile-lined courtyard blooming with bougainvillea and anchored by a graceful tiered fountain a peaceful heart to a property that invites both solitude and celebration. Thick plaster walls, hand-carved wood doors, colorful mosaic tile, and beamed ceilings reflect Neff's devotion to detail, while arched passageways and French doors offer a seamless flow to outdoor patios, balconies, and garden paths. The estate rests on approximately 1.7 acres, much of which is natural hillside, providing privacy, expansive views of the San Gabriel Mountains, and the opportunity to feel embraced by nature. The property includes a generous motor court, intimate gardens, and thoughtfully situated outdoor living areas ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection. Inside, a series of graciously scaled rooms are revealed from a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings and carved beams, to a richly paneled library, formal and informal dining areas, and a charming chef's kitchen with vintage black-and-white checkered floors. Designed with flexibility in mind, the layout includes a variety of private wings, secondary spaces, and separate quarters creating an ideal setting for multigenerational living, an artist's retreat, or a compound with room to grow and evolve. Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 50 years, the home has been carefully managed and updated with attention to its architectural integrity all enhancing comfort while preserving its timeless character. Located just minutes from the Annandale Golf Club and with easy access to both the Westside and DTLA, the Charles H. Thorne House offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree, quiet elegance, and enduring possibility.
