Built in 1946 by architect Robert Greve as a timeless home for his family, this exceptional mid-century residence in Pasadena’s Chapman Woods showcases rich details inspired by the elegance of a 1940’s luxury ocean liner. Serving as both passage and architectural focal point, the principal interior archway links the home’s public and private areas and subtly reflects a design motif woven throughout the property. A wonderful space for entertaining, the living room offers mountain vistas, beautiful pegged red oak floors, ambient inset perimeter lighting, and thoughtfully designed built-ins. Restored metal casement windows with working brass screens throughout the house welcome abundant natural light and refreshing cross breezes, blending functionality with classic design. A versatile den or guest room at the front of the home features custom cabinetry and rich mahogany paneling, offering an ideal space for a home office or welcoming overnight guests. The formal dining room connects seamlessly to a beautifully redesigned modern kitchen, where premium materials and chef-grade appliances honor the home’s original craftsmanship while delivering contemporary performance. Two bedrooms contain streamlined built-in furnishings with integrated beds, dressers, and dedicated dressing areas, blending timeless design with everyday comfort. Two luxuriously designed bathrooms feature exceptional surfaces
and high-end fixtures to create elevated spa-like experiences. On the lower level, a media lounge provides an inviting retreat, where soft ambient lighting and an intimate setting create the perfect space for music, film, and entertaining guests.

The thoughtfully fully landscaped grounds feature drought-tolerant plantings that provide both beauty and ease of maintenance. A front patio creates a welcoming space for relaxed, outdoor gatherings. A classic brick driveway leads to a paved carport with parking for two vehicles. In the gated backyard, a sunken patio with a handcrafted brick pizza oven, custom shading, and integrated lighting creates an inviting setting for al fresco dining and memorable evening entertaining. From curb to corner, this impeccably maintained all-electric home reflects a level of care and attention that must be experienced firsthand.
