Celebrating 10 years: fixed fees, full service, fast responses

Property search · The Consumer Protection Brokerage

Every listing shows your estimated rebate.

The green number on each home is what could come back to you: the buyer-broker fee (typically 2 to 3%) minus our flat $9,750. No other search shows you this, because no other brokerage gives it back.

Big Price Adjustment! This home is where history, artistry, and everyday living come together in the most inspiring way. This extraordinary 1920s French Tudor residence is more than a home, its a creative sanctuary. Once owned by renowned German violin maker Gustav Fassauer-Ferron, founder of Pasadenas celebrated Arcade Violin Shop, the property carries a legacy of craftsmanship, music, and imagination. From the moment you arrive, illuminated by classic gas lamps, a sense of story and soul unfolds. Up the stairs leads to a formal entry w/ a reimagined entry closet that now serves as an inviting wine cellar; beckons to be enjoyed. The living room inspires with soaring beamed ceilings, abundant natural light from a large picture window, & a seamless connection to a front porch overlooking a lush, private yard framed by tall hedges. A grand Normandy fireplace mantel anchors the space w/ built in speakers. French doors from the formal dining opens to a brick patio for al fresco dining. Note the thoughtfully placed lighting to highlight art and ambiance in the living and dining area while an antique German hutch enriches the dining room w/ a pass through to the warm galley kitchen that includes a wooden rolling table and appliances. Stackable laundry (included) across from breakfast area with an exterior door to the storybook backyard. The primary suite is a work of art, featuring hand-crafted doors from India and pressed metal ceilings from Tennessee. Two additional bedrooms are on the main level, while upstairs a loft with a half bath, potential for expansion, and oversized walk-in closet offers flexibility as a studio, library, or retreat. A charming attached apartment, accessed by a whimsical spiral staircase, includes a Murphy bed, built-in desk, couch, chair and refrigerator; ideal for guests, a home office, or rental potential. Modern upgrades include paid-off solar and a Tesla charging station. The expansive patio, iron gazebo, plunge pool, and waterfall create a private outdoor retreat. A gym/studio with steam room extends from the two-car garage. Located near Eaton Canyon, the Huntington Library, and the Los Angeles Arboretum, this home is rich in history, layered with character, and designed to inspire. See it! Love it! Buy it!
