About This Property

Welcome to Valley View cottage--a treasured piece of Pasadena's architectural heritage designed by Wallace Neff nearly a century ago. One of thirteen beautifully restored cottages on the gated grounds of the historic Huntington Hotel, Valley View was built in 1926 for the hotel's long-time owner and manager D.M. Linnard. Rich with timeless character, the residence blends Tudor Revival and storybook cottage styles with hints of a Grimmian fairytale. As you enter, striking interiors and design flourishes echo the home's impressive exterior. In the great room, a nearly 20' ceiling features exposed trusses and beams, creating a grand space for entertaining. The formal dining room glows with natural light from a thirty-foot wall with diamond-shaped mullioned windows while the beautifully updated eat-in kitchen connects to a sunlit breakfast room. Completing the main level, you'll find a guest bedroom / media room, three-quarter bath, and the luxurious primary suite with private balcony and spa bath. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a bathroom, with the southeast bedroom featuring a private balcony and sweeping valley views. The extremely versatile lower level, with its own entrance, offers a bedroom ensuite, two offices, a gym, two kitchens, and flexible living spaces. Outdoors, tiered gardens recall a countryside manor, equally suited for entertaining or a quiet evening under the stars in the Jacuzzi. With four deeded parking spaces plus a three-car garage, guests come and go with ease. As a resident of Huntington Circle, you'll enjoy direct access to the Langham Hotel's world-class amenities--from lush gardens to fine dining. Combining exquisite architecture, modern luxury, and unmatched convenience, Valley View invites you into a timeless storybook setting where your happily-ever-after unfolds.
