Wallace Neff, FAIA, The Linnard Residence, 1926.An unparalleled opportunity to claim a piece of Pasadena's most prestigious history--one of only thirteen meticulously restored cottages on the grounds of the historic Huntington Hotel, Wallace Neff's 'Valley View' cottage, built for long-time hotel owner and manager D.M. Linnard, exemplifies Southern California vernacular architecture. On a double, half-acre lot and completed in 1926 as the permanent residence of Linnard and his wife, Neff's design incorporates elements of Tudor Revival and storybook cottage, with subtle hints of Grimmian fairytale, packaged nicely under a steep, shingled roof and witches cap. Inside, massive wooden trusses soar nearly twenty feet as they support the open-beam ceiling of the great room, and the thirty-foot-long wall of diamond-shaped mullioned windows of the south-facing, formal dining room fills both rooms with colorful hues. The oversized eat-in kitchen seamlessly marries modern convenience with historic charm, providing direct access to the sunlit breakfast room and
outdoor spaces. The en suite primary bedroom with a private balcony is on the first floor, with an additional guest bedroom and a three-quarter bath. The second floor has two bedrooms and a shared three-quarter bathroom. A private balcony off the southeast bedroom provides unobstructed views of the valley below. The finished lower level of the house has its own entrance, three possible bedrooms, two kitchens, one three-quarter, and two half-bathrooms, all of which could be an office, studio, a place for in-laws, or guest quarters. Valley View also has four deeded parking spaces and an off-street three-car garage. Finally, as a resident of Huntington Circle, indulge in the prestige of private access to the Langham Hotel's world-class amenities, from lush gardens to fine dining, ensuring your lifestyle is nothing short of extraordinary.A residence that captures the soul of Southern California's architectural legacy, Valley View invites you to step into a timeless storybook setting, crafted for those who seek a life of elegance, history, and unmatched beauty.
