The Kellogg residence was designed by Garret Van Pelt, Jr., one of Pasadena's most renowned architects. Set in a prestigious neighborhood across from the Huntington Library, this magnificent one-story home was built in 1928 in the California rancho style, centralized on a courtyard with wide and picturesque porches. Poised on over three quarters of an acre this home was built with exceptional quality and gracious proportions. The main entrance has a barrel ceiling and connects to a light-filled veranda which looks out over the central courtyard. There is a powder room and an enclosed bar off the hall. To the right is the dining room with gorgeous moldings and hand-painted mural wallpaper. Beyond the dining room is a light-filled kitchen with a bay breakfast area, separate butler's pantry, utility porch and 2 bedrooms with a full bath. The other side of the entry leads you to the generous living room adorned with a grand fireplace, soaring ceilings, and French doors which open to the front porch. There are four bedrooms on this side of the home, one currently used as a TV room and three additional bathrooms. The sizable master suite has a fireplace and 2 separate dressing rooms. The guest quarters feature 2 bedrooms, a full bath and sitting room which opens to the main courtyard. This stunning property combines 1928 elegance with an informal accessibility for today's modern living.
