About this property

//Thomas C Marlow House, Robert D Farquhar, 1922//Originally designed for master builder Thomas C Marlow, who worked with many of the significant architects of the era, when it came time to build his family home, it is telling that Marlow chose AIA Fellow (1919) Robert D Farquhar to design the property. Known both for his landmark residential estates such as the historic Owlwood Estate in Holmby Hills and the Canfield-Moreno Estate in Silver Lake, as well as non-residential: the California Club, the Pentagon and Beverly Hills High School, Farquhar, in scaled down form, showcases the same mastery in creating opulent and stately spaces by executing his elegant and classic style that defined the architect. Possessing all the grandeur and resplendence of the era, and accessed via circular driveway, the impressive English Revival home rests behind two wrought iron driveway gates and privacy hedges. Fully gated, the quiet rear courtyard, pool and gardens possess the same sense of privacy and security as the front. Thoughtfully updated interior preserves Farquhar's balanced flow, with both main and secondary staircases, from larger common rooms to the private areas of the homes. Oversized double-shuttered pane windows allow for natural light throughout. Located in the Oak Knoll neighborhood, close to the Langham, Caltech, and Polytechnic School, the Thomas C Marlow House is a true rarity. Spanning a manageable 3,742 sf, yet designed by one of the leading architects of the era, with the craftsmanship, detail and materials almost exclusively reserved for the palatial estates of the 1920's. //Features// *Circular driveway with two automatic auto-gates. *Four BR's upper level. *Two-car attached garage w/chauffer's quarters w/bath & A/C. *Updated systems, central A/C. *Pool with automatic cover. *Garden room and green house. *Basement and large attic space. *Main and secondary staircases. *Large balcony/patio off primary BR on upper level. *Newly refinished original hardwood flooring.// 'Excellent example of the English Revival style, Robert Farquhar, architect, one of his best in Pasadena.' - Period Revival Architecture in Pasadena, California: 1915-1942.
