OAK KNOLL
Pasadena California
Once the site of a sheep ranch owned by Henry Huntington, this neighborhood began its life before the turn of the 20th century featuring many grand estates. These estates were built to showcase the lovely native oaks growing in the area. The most famous estate in the area would be the former Ritz Carlton, now Langham Hotel & Spa.
Oak Knoll boasts the architecture of the famous Greene & Greene brothers, Sylvanus Marston and Wallace Neff.
If you have an opportunity to visit Oak Knoll make sure to drive by these estates:
Langham Hotel, formerly known as Ritz-Carlton (built in 1906 and rebuilt in 1991)
1401 S. Oak Knoll Avenue, Pasadena
Originally opened as the Hotel Wentworth in 1907 and repurchased by San Marino tycoon Henry Huntington, who had it redesigned by Myron Hunt. It reopened as a resort destination in 1914 and came to represent Pasadena’s elite good life.

This picture perfect 1914 Craftsman Bungalow sits in the beautiful and prestigious Bungalow Heaven Historic Landmark District. Past owners ensured this piece of Pasadena history retained all its original charm during a remodel in 2000-from the wrap around porch, river rock chimney, exposed rafter tails, and gable roof, to the pocket doors, picture rails, built in cabinets and meticulously landscaped front yard, this home reflects both the charm of a traditional Craftsman residence and the appeal of updated luxury. A den adjacent to the second bedroom could be a nursery or 3rd bedroom. Great for entertaining with open floor plan, flagstone patio, and peaceful outdoor sitting areas. The remodel included updated electric, copper plumbing, security system, refinished hardwood floors in the bedrooms and bath, new central air/heat, automatic sprinklers, and new period light fixtures throughout the house. There's also an oversized 2-car detached garage and a large,flat, enclosed yard.
