Property Description
Built in 1913 for lumber baron Charles Goodyear and his wife Henrietta, the property spans 2.5 acres (lots 18 & 19) of the original Oak Knoll subdivision. Considered to be one of the best home sites of the Oak Knoll development and, because of its commanding position on top of a gentle knoll, the property became known as 'Knollcrest.' Built by one of the most prominent architects of the time, G Lawrence Stimson (Wrigley Mansion), Knollcrest housed many treasures of the Goodyear family and was considered to be entirely fireproof. Spanning 315' along Oakland Ave, the property is entirely gated, with 2 large wrought iron auto gates connected by circular drive. A true rarity, the property has a third auto gate and driveway accessed from Allendale Rd. True to Stimson's form, the main home features stately wood paneled common rooms with 10' ceilings and hand carved moldings. Most of the original woodwork and artesian carved built-ins still exist in extraordinary condition. Living space spans 3 levels with additional attic space. A second structure, with full kitchen and bath was recently updated and serves as a guest house, adjacent to garage and pool. Knollcrest measures 8,713 sf of living space across all structures with an additional 5,206 sf of storage/garage space.
One of the landmark Pasadena estates, in the highly desirable Oak Knoll/Madison Heights neighborhood, Knollcrest was featured as the Pasadena Showcase House in 1968. Since then, the property has remained in the same family. A singular opportunity, after 60 years, to secure a significant Los Angeles family estate for multiple generations.
