This Pasadena compound was once used as an earthquake detection lab. Now, the reimagined estate has sold for its full asking price of $6.885 million.
Spanning three acres, the gated estate holds a Mediterranean-style home, a detached guesthouse, vineyard, swimming pool and courtyard with a fountain.
Built by Caltech with funding from the Carnegie Institution of Washington, the facility was originally a two-story concrete lab carved into a granite hillside. The rocky landscape was necessary, as the seismometers required a bedrock base. “We essentially had to transform an empty concrete building into a Spanish residence while facing design limitations due to the historic restrictions of the structure,” said listing agent David Goldberg of Sotheby’s International Realty.
