Clovelly Cottage, home of Emmy award-winning journalist and veteran Chuck Henry, has been listed for $5,600,000 by Carol Chua, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Pasadena office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Designed by architects Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury, Clovelly Cottage was built in 1926 for Sir H. Montagu Allan and Lady Allan of Montreal. Located at 780 Huntington Circle in Pasadena, Calif., the approximately 5,650-square-foot residence has four bedrooms and five bathrooms.
“Nestled on a private, gated lane on the grounds of the spectacular Langham Huntington Hotel in the prestigious Oak Knoll neighborhood, there is a treasured enclave of thirteen historic bungalows designed in the 1920s by famous architects for prominent East Coast families who wintered in sunny California,” said Chua. “Rarely on the market, these Huntington Cottages represent a unique and prized opportunity for a discerning buyer looking for a special retreat to call home.”
