15 South Grand, the Francis House, is a beautiful example of classic Georgian Colonial Revival architecture with all of the hallmarks of Colonial design in its gracious proportions, understated elegance and symmetrical design. The home was built in 1930 by Reginald Johnson, one of California’s most influential and notable architects. The property is located on beautiful Grand Avenue, surrounded by historic and architecturally significant properties. From the street, a beautiful brick wall and tall iron gates create an impressive approach to the tree-lined drive leading to an entrance of rose gardens, old growth trees and the welcoming brick facade of the home. The front door itself is embellished with a stone relief over the door, a pineapple, the symbol of welcome and hospitality. The elegant home is sited on over an acre and a half perched above the Arroyo Seco overlooking Pasdena’s iconic Colorado Street Bridge. Entering the home one's eye is immediately drawn through the entry to the beautiful arched iron doors of the loggia which open out to an incredible covered patio, expansive lawn and the view. The gorgeous covered patio conjures old world elegance with the awning and lanterns suspended from a beautiful ironwork frame. The main level of the home includes the stately living room with a beautiful bay window, a fireplace and two sets of french doors leading out to the lush side garden. Off of the living room, a handsome paneled study with a balck marble fireplace and french doors to the garden offers a wonderful sanctuary. The loggia and hallway connect to the pretty dining room with a floor to ceiling bay window and an additional fireplace and a butlers pantry that connects the dining room to the kitchen. Up the elegant staircase to the second floor we find all of the bedrooms. The main bedroom features two bathrooms, a very large walk in closet and beautiful views of the Arroyo. The remaining four bedrooms each enjoy their own private bath and there is an additional room currently used as a den/tv room. The large basement features a walk-in wine cellar, a large laundry area, a powder room and generous storage.
