Langham Hotel, previously known as the Pasadena Ritz Carlton, is surrounded by some of the most beautiful luxurious estates in Pasadena and San Marino.  So, if you are curious to see what's available in the Langham Huntington Hotel Neighborhood, let's take a look at a couple of homes I previewed today.

1535 Kenmore Road, Pasadena

My personal favorite of the tour.  This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is right around the corner, on a cul-de-sac, with a tranquil and peaceful back yard. 

Per Listing Agent:  An entry is a journey, & architect Miller Fong has employed harmony, flow & spatial dynamics to guide us into his own stylish contemporary world. This striking residence is open & livable w/ a flexible floor plan, walls of glass & remarkable vistas. On entering, a serpentine wall leads past a spacious den w/ fireplace towards the great room w/ generous seating area, fireplace, dining space & fantastic kitchen w/ newer stainless appliances. The materials are exciting: a mosaic tile backsplash is juxtaposed against a polished, stained concrete floor; marble counters are a foil for sponged walls; & natural skylights contrast w/ European, low voltage cable strung lighting. A convenient guest bath & laundry are adjacent. The master suite offers a grand picture window, a spectacular bath w/ Jacuzzi tub & wall-less garden shower & a dream dressing room that shares the entry's dramatic serpentine wall. 3 additional bedrooms, a handsome bath & extensive patio space complete this exquisite home.

Sierra Madre home sales statistics are below for the last couple of months.  February's average price per sq. ft. for sold homes in Sierra Madre is a bit misleading since it's based on only 2 sales and is not truly representative of the real estate market in this foothill community.

Information above from Pasadena Foothill Association of Realtors, ITEC MLS service.

Even though the inventory of Sierra Madre condos and townhomes was almost non-existent in the month of February, March saw an additional 3 homes listed, bringing the total number of condo and townhome listings available for purchase at 4. You can find information on these homes on our Sierra Madre Condo and Townhome post here or see the box below.

Median price sold for Sierra Madre is all over the place if you take a look at the graph below.  This is due to the unconventional and eclectic real estate market in this community.  Sierra Madre is known for the small cottages and bungalows as well as view estates.  The inventory of homes available for sale is low and at any point in time can vary significantly in its price point.  There are Sierra Madre homes available starting at $360,000 and going up all the way to over $2.5 million.

San Gabriel homes for sale statistics for the last three months are below for your information.  The data below was gathered from the Pasadena Foothill Association Multiple Listing Service.  For the most part, the last few months have been pretty steady.  Inventory is still low, but is on the rise. 

The number of homes sold in San Gabriel have been low during the months of Januray and February.  Of course, the homes sold data is related to the homes that went into escrow 30 to 45 days prior to the closing month which puts us back to home sales that took place during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  So the low volume is expected - it's the cyclical nature of real estate.

Looking back at the last five years of San Gabriel real estate sales data, it looks like the average sold price of homes peaked in May of 2006 at $726,000.  In February of 2009, the average sales price was $585,000.  This year, same period see the average sales price of $543,000.

However, it's interesting to note that five years ago, in February of 2005, the average sales price of San Gabriel homes was $551,000 which is only 1.5% higher than last month.  Given all the hoopla of the real estate market crashing, the home prices held pretty darn good overall.

Last week, I had the opportunity to tour 1649 Lombardy Road in Pasadena California.  This gracious home resides among the Pasadena estates that are minutes from the Huntington Library in San Marino and CalTech in Pasadena.

Wallace Neff, the architect known for developing the "California" style of homes excelled himself when he designed this estate in 1924.  Since then, this luxury home has been tastefully renovated and is now waiting for a new owner.
