182 S Orange Grove

Pasadena, CA 91105

The Mayfair Estate is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Pasadena history. Set along South Orange Grove Boulevard—Pasadena’s storied “Millionaires Row”—this Tudor Revival residence was designed by architect Frederick L. Roehrig for businessman Otho S.A. Sprague in 1903. Today, the City-designated Historic Monument remains an important example of Pasadena’s Golden Age of architecture. Encompassing 13,159 square feet across three above-grade levels, plus an expansive finished basement, Mayfair is distinguished by its remarkable scale and architectural character. A grand foyer with a sweeping staircase introduces interiors featuring hardwood floors, rich wood paneling and millwork, coffered and exposed-beam ceilings, leaded and stained glass, expansive window bays and multiple fireplaces. Formal living and dining rooms, a library/office, music room, sunroom, large kitchen and numerous gathering spaces offer flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining. The residence includes 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, along with generous sitting and lounge areas throughout the upper levels. Large windows bring in abundant natural light and capture views of the surrounding grounds, historic Great Lawn, Ambassador Gardens and San Gabriel Mountains. The finished lower level offers substantial additional space for recreation, fitness, wine storage, a theater and more. Mayfair’s Tudor façade overlooks the broad lawns and mature landscaping of Ambassador Gardens. The property later served as a private school before becoming part of the Ambassador College campus in 1951 and was formally designated a Pasadena Historic Monument in 2013. Located near Old Pasadena, the Norton Simon Museum and Tournament House, 182 South Orange Grove Boulevard offers a combination of history, scale and setting that is difficult to replicate—an opportunity to preserve an important Pasadena landmark while shaping its next chapter.
