A stunning Monterey Colonial estate located in one of San Marino’s most prestigious neighborhoods is heading to auction. Originally listed for $5.18 million, the estate, ideally situated across from the picturesque Lacy Park, will auction in cooperation with Jacky An of Sotheby's International Realty - Pasadena Brokerage. Bidding for the home is set to open on 17 July and culminate live 29 July via our online marketplace.

Boasting treetop and park vistas, the property at 1464 Virginia Road is set on half an acre of meticulously landscaped grounds and showcases a sophisticated blend of classic architecture and modern updates. Originally built in the traditional Monterey Colonial style, the residence underwent major renovations in both 2007 and 2016, resulting in refined interiors and upgraded amenities designed for contemporary living.

The main level features a gracious entry foyer, formal living and dining rooms, a comfortable family room, a gourmet kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, a butler’s pantry, a full bath, and a dedicated home office. Upstairs, the home offers four spacious bedrooms, a children’s study area, and a private primarysuite complete with an adjoining sitting room. A separate in-law suite with a private entrance adds to the home’s flexibility.

Original architectural details blend seamlessly with modern finishes throughout the home, which includes a newer pool and spa, mature trees, privacy hedges, and lush plantings. The outdoor living spaces are anchored by a European-style rear courtyard and an outdoor fireplace—perfect for relaxing or entertaining against a backdrop of natural beauty.

“This home captures everything buyers love about San Marino—timeless design, lush surroundings, and a prime location across from one of the most beloved parks in Southern California,” said listing agent Jacky An. “The property offers both elegance and everyday livability, with thoughtfully updated interiors and outdoor spaces ideal for year-round enjoyment.”

The sellers, who lovingly maintained the home over the years, reflected fondly on their time there. “This home has been the heart of our family life for many years,” said homeowner Haoping Yang. “We’ve cherished the quiet mornings overlooking the park, the lively celebrations in the courtyard, and the everyday peace it has brought us. It’s a place filled with warmth, memories, and joy—we hope the next owners will love it just as much as we have.”

San Marino is renowned for its peaceful tree-lined streets, historic estates, and top-ranked public schools. The city’s centerpiece, Lacy Park, sits just across from the property and spans over 30 acres of open green space, walking trails, tennis courts, and scenic views. The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens are also nearby, along with an array of dining, cultural, and recreational options.
