The Francis F. Leupp Residence | Reginald D. Johnson, FAIA, ArchitectA distinguished single-level French Normandy residence in Pasadena's coveted Caltech-Huntington Library district, the historic Francis F. Leupp Residence was designed by noted architect Reginald D. Johnson and thoughtfully reimagined for a sophisticated California lifestyle. Set on more than 29,000 square feet of parklike grounds, this 3/4-bedroom, five-bath home blends architectural pedigree, modern comfort, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.Meticulously renovated and maintained, the residence unfolds with a light-filled, highly livable floor plan designed for both daily ease and gracious entertaining. The grand living room opens through sliding French doors to a broad brick terrace and an extraordinary, award-winning garden beyond. Anchored along the eastern edge by a magnificent redwood, the grounds offer a sparkling pool, and serene garden, creating a rare sense of privacy and retreat in one of Pasadena's most desirable enclaves.The chef's kitchen is appointed with stone countertops, custom illuminated cabinetry, and professional appliances by Sub-Zero, Miele, Wolf, and Bosch. An inviting family room with faux-beamed ceiling, built-in bar, and a fireplace opens to both the kitchen and the outdoor patio. A well-equipped butler's pantry with Sub-Zero beverage refrigerator, and abundant built-ins sit adjacent to a flexible fourth bedroom/office with three-quarter bath and laundry.A handsome library with its own fireplace offers a quiet retreat and thoughtfully separates the public rooms from the home's two private bedroom wings. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, introduced by a vestibule entry and centered around a generous bedroom with sitting area and fireplace. Dual luxurious baths feature stone counters, expansive showers, custom cabinetry, and bespoke California Closets; one bath includes a soaking tub with French doors opening to a private secret garden. The secondary wing offers two spacious en suite bedrooms, each with generous walk-in dressing closets.In addition to the front circular drive, the property includes a recently constructed 680-square-foot detached garage with ceiling height designed to accommodate up to six vehicles, along with an attached approximately 163-square-foot bonus space. The residence offers rare privacy, architectural provenance, and a beautifully composed garden setting in the heart of Pasadena.
