A palatial piece of Pasadena property could be yours for $11 million.
Home to a five-bedroom, five-bath estate, the 4.2 acres in Southwest Pasadena compose one of the largest residential parcels in the city. At the center sits a brick-clad residence in the English Period Revival style that dates back more than a century. The ample grounds, meanwhile, are decked out with a heated pool, a lighted tennis court, and sprawling lawns.

Designed in 1924, the spread was the brainchild of the firm Johnson, Kaufmann & Coate. The three architects—Reginald Davis Johnson, Gordon Kaufmann, and Roland Coate—created SoCal landmarks like Santa Barbara’s Biltmore hotel and the Greystone Mansion.

Since its completion, the home has had just two sets of owners: The civil engineer W. K. Barnard and his family were the original residents, living in the home for more than 50 years. In 1976, the property was sold to Dr. Earl Brian and his wife Jane Brian. Jane eventually divorced and remarried John J. Fehrenbacher, with the couple taking over the home. For almost two decades, Jane worked for the local design firm Stamps & Stamps, and she died in 2021.
