These are the highest-priced home sales reported in San Gabriel Valley–Pasadena, California for the week ending October 25, 2026. All five are two-story single-family homes in Los Angeles County, and together they sold for a combined total of $23.996 million.
The list belongs to the older neighborhoods of the area. A Colonial, a pair of English-style homes and a Craftsman are among them, and the newest was built in 1942. Several have been carefully remodeled, and most of them pair period architecture with gardens and outdoor rooms made for the Southern California climate.
No. 1 — $8,700,000 · 1200 Virginia Rd, San Marino, California
The week’s top sale came from San Marino’s Lacy Estates, where 1200 Virginia Road sold for $8,700,000. The Colonial-style home was built in 1939, and architect Ernest A. Bryant worked on it in 1948. It stands on 0.75 acres behind a gated entry, with live oaks around the approach and a circular driveway.
The home has six bedrooms and six bathrooms in 6,485 square feet, which makes it the largest home in this group, with the most bedrooms and the largest lot. Its formal and informal rooms have generous ceiling heights and built-ins, and there are fireplaces in both the living room and the library.
The grounds include a large, flat yard and a heated, fenced lap pool set in a garden, along with an in-ground spa. The property neighbors Thornton Gardens, the former Katherine Emery Estate, which was originally planned by architect Myron Hunt with landscape design by Florence Yoch and Lucile Council.
The home went under contract 15 days after it was listed. Timothy Di Prizito of Christie’s International Real Estate SoCal was on both sides of the sale, as the listing agent and as the buyer’s agent.

No. 2 — $5,166,000 · 1476 Kensington Rd, San Marino, California
Built in 1942, 1476 Kensington Road in San Marino’s Library District is the newest home on this list, though most of what a buyer sees today is recent work. A renovation that took about two and a half years stripped the home to the studs and reconfigured its floor plan, with new plumbing and electrical systems, Lutron lighting and a Sono sound system built in.
Inside, the rooms are finished with custom millwork, and the kitchen has custom oak cabinetry and professional-grade appliances. The home has four bedrooms and five bathrooms in 3,978 square feet, with the primary bedroom on the main level, a fireplace in the family room and views of the mountains. On the landscaped 0.31-acre lot are a newly built one-bedroom ADU and a new two-car garage.
The home sold for $5,166,000, above its asking price of $4.988 million, after going under contract 14 days from its listing. MINGSHENG AN of SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY was the listing agent, and Jill Suarez of Engel & Voelkers La Canada represented the buyer.

In Pasadena’s South Arroyo, 874 South Arroyo Boulevard sold for $3,450,000. The English-style home dates to 1925 and sits on a 0.31-acre lot with views of trees and parkland, behind a gated driveway that leads to a three-car garage.
Its centerpiece is the living room, where a vaulted ceiling rises two stories above a wood-burning masonry fireplace. The home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms in 3,195 square feet, with hardwood floors and built-in cabinetry, plus an office and a separate nursery. The kitchen, the family room and a large dining room with built-ins all open onto a garden patio. That patio is laid in brick and has a built-in bar, and a fountain stands in the garden among mature plantings.
The home went under contract 13 days after it was listed and sold $455,000 above its asking price of $2.995 million. Rita Whitney of The Agency was the listing agent, and Elisa G. Ritt of Compass represented the buyer.

No. 4 — $3,350,000 · 1714 Ramona Ave, South Pasadena, California
The oldest home in this group comes with a story. The listing says the first owner of 1714 Ramona Avenue in South Pasadena was a dentist who saw patients in the parlor during Prohibition while running a speakeasy upstairs, reached discreetly from the backyard. The Craftsman was built in 1917, and an extensive remodel has kept its original woodwork.
A front porch opens into a formal living room framed by Philippine mahogany colonnades from 1917, with an inglenook fireplace finished in artisan tile. Double French doors lead to a two-story foyer with a checkerboard floor of Carrara marble. The kitchen has Monet Garden marble counters, a prep island and a six-burner Wolf range.
The home has five bedrooms and four bathrooms in 3,204 square feet. On the main floor, two bedrooms form their own wing, and both open through sliding glass doors to the rear deck. The primary suite is upstairs beneath exposed timber trusses from 1917, with a sitting lounge, an open dressing room and a bath with a deep soaking tub.
Behind the home, on a 9,251-square-foot lot, a raised deck with a retractable awning steps down to a paver terrace and a lawn shaded by a mature tree. A long driveway with an electric vehicle charger runs to a detached oversized garage with room for a workshop or studio. The property last sold for $2.036 million in 2025, and this time it sold for $3,350,000.
It went under contract 12 days after it was listed and sold above its asking price of $2.998 million. Yi Lien Lin of Pinnacle Real Estate Group was the listing agent, and Rosa A. Garcia of The Core Agency represented the buyer.

No. 5 — $3,330,000 · 718 Burleigh Dr, Pasadena, California
Of these five sales, 718 Burleigh Drive moved fastest, going under contract nine days after it was listed. The 1925 English-style home in Pasadena’s South Arroyo sold for $3,330,000.
A formal entry leads to a barrel-vaulted living room, and windows in the living room, dining room and den look out into the treetops. Both the living room and the oversized den have fireplaces. The remodeled kitchen is built around a Wolf gas double oven, a glass-front Sub-Zero refrigerator and a wine refrigerator, with a double-door pantry for storage. From the den, the home opens to a covered patio and a deck, and the outdoor area has a built-in barbecue and a small fountain.
All three bedrooms are upstairs, reached by a staircase lit by a large picture window, and each has its own bath. The primary suite adds a dressing area and a walk-in closet. The home has five bathrooms in 2,554 square feet, along with a finished basement and an attached two-car garage. Its 0.40-acre grounds are planted with citrus and other fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, lawns and a rose garden.
Robin Banks of BHHS California Properties was the listing agent, and Taylor Morphy of The Agency represented the buyer.
