The eight-story, 116,000-square-foot building on the edge of Old Pasadena was the largest commercial building in the city at the time of its completion in the 1920s, according to Ross Wallach of Diversified Commercial Investments, who represented the buyer along with Douglas Cancienne of Diversified.
Visitors of last spring's Pasadena Showcase House of Design will recognize the Bauer Estate and Gardens. This 1928 Monterey Colonial-style mansion and carriage house on 5 acres belonged to the late TV writer Stephen J. Cannell. Now, it's on the market for $22 million. If the property meets the asking price, it could surpass the City of Roses' most expensive home ever sold.
