Yahoo Lifestyle A 1920s Wallace Neff Home Next to Pasadena’s Langham Huntington Hotel Lists for $6 Million
Back in the late 1920s, as he was embarking upon a successful architecture career that would endure for more than six decades, Wallace Neff crafted this suburban Los Angeles retreat for Huntington Hotel owner and manager Daniel M. Linnard and his wife. Now, after having been lovingly maintained by the same family for over a decade, the alluring English Tudor Revival-style home is on the market in an exclusive pocket of Pasadena for a dash under $6 million.
Nestled on two parcels of land spanning half an acre, amid 13 cottages that make up the coveted Huntington Circle enclave adjacent to the ultra-posh Langham Huntington hotel, the creamy stucco and timber-framed structure is crowned with a steep shingled roof and a witch’s cap. Double gates lead into the manicured front lawn via a slate-clad walkway, with four deeded parking spaces and an off-street three-car garage elsewhere on the premises.

Completed in 1926 and meticulously restored and updated through the years, the gated home boasts a total of five bedrooms and six baths filtered across roughly 6,100 square feet of multi-level living space adorned throughout with a mix of stone and hardwood floors, soaring exposed-truss cathedral ceilings, and diamond-shaped mullioned windows.
Especially standing out on the main level is a step-down living room sporting a wood-burning fireplace. Other highlights include a chandelier-topped dining room and a small but ornate bookshelf-clad library, plus a spacious kitchen that connects to a circular breakfast room. An ensuite primary bedroom has a fireplace, a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a bath equipped with a built-in soaking tub and a separate shower, while an additional guest bedroom has access to a bath.

Upstairs are an office and two additional bedrooms, including one with a balcony overlooking sprawling valley views and both sharing a bath. Per the listing held by Matthew Berkley of Engel & Völkers, a finished lower level with its own entrance, “three possible bedrooms,” a fireside sitting area, and dual kitchens and baths could easily be converted into an office, a studio, or guest quarters.
Rounding it all out are the garden-laced grounds, which host several spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining. Huntington Circle residents also have private access to the hotel’s lush gardens and other upscale amenities.
