Rare in the Market. Seller is motivated. *The Mayfair Mansion is regionally significant and the best representation of an Arts and Crafts period house. Built in 1903 by Frederick L. Roehrig in the Tudor Revival style, this rare and unique historical monument is set amidst the more-than-a-century-old prestigious Ambassador Gardens. The mansion overlooks the vast nearly two-acre Great Lawn and is located right in the heart of Old Town Pasadena near the Tournament of Roses headquarters. This location is the must-go route for the Rose Parade every year. The Mayfair Mansion has been remodeled to maintain the originality and elegance of its grandeur days of Pasadena's Golden Age. This over 13000 sq. ft. three floor estate features 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms (5 en-suite on the first and second floor). The Master suite has bay windows, two walk-in closets, a sitting room and a fireplace decor. There are two large formal dining rooms and an afternoon tea area. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with a big kitchen island, large built-in refrigerator and a separate Chinese wok kitchen. Two laundries on the 2nd and 3rd floor for convenient use. The basement is over 3500 sq. ft. and has enough room for a wine cellar, spa, gym, home theater, and recreation room--the possibilities are endless. The mansion also features a lot of natural lighting with a beautiful green view from all the windows.

Condition Rating
Good

This historic 1903 mansion has been extensively remodeled to maintain its original elegance, making it move-in ready. While the kitchen and bathroom styles are traditional and not ultra-modern (likely renovated 10-20 years ago), they are well-maintained and highly functional. The kitchen is described as 'gourmet' with a large island, built-in refrigerator, and a separate Chinese wok kitchen, indicating high-quality features. The bathroom features a modern glass-enclosed shower and jetted tub. Flooring throughout is a mix of well-kept hardwood and stone. The property shows minimal wear and tear, and major systems are functional, aligning with a 'good' condition rating for a property of this age that has undergone significant, quality renovations.

Expansive & Luxurious Living Space: An impressive 13,000+ sq. ft. estate with 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms (5 en-suite), including a master suite with bay windows, two walk-in closets, a sitting room, and a fireplace, designed for grand living.

Cons

High Association Fee: The property carries a substantial monthly association fee of $1,410.46, which is unusually high for a single-family residence and could be a significant ongoing cost for a buyer.
Age-Related Maintenance & Preservation: Built in 1903, the property, despite remodels, may require specialized maintenance and adherence to historical preservation guidelines, potentially leading to higher upkeep costs and complexities.
Niche Market Appeal: The property's immense size, historical significance, and luxury price point target a very specific buyer demographic, which could result in a longer market time and limited buyer pool.
