Pasadena Showcase House of Design Unveils the 2023 Showcase Home

2023 Pasadena Showcase House of Design

Continuing in its 58th year, the Pasadena Showcase House of Design, one of the nation’s oldest, largest and most successful home and garden tours, opened April 23. The 2023 Showcase House is a reimagined Stewart House, a 1933 grand Colonial estate with spectacular acreage in a storied Pasadena neighborhood.

“We feel incredibly lucky to present the Stewart House as our 58th Pasadena Showcase House of Design,” said Vikki Sung, 2022/23 President of Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts. “Featured in 1983 as the 19th Showcase House, we have revisited this majestic estate, stewarded by the same family for 40 years, to introduce it to a new generation.”

Designed by Marston & Maybury, one of Pasadena’s most celebrated architectural partnerships, Stewart House harkens back to the days of gracious architecture and quintessential Showcase with over 11,000 square feet of living space sited on two acres of carefully landscaped and exquisitely manicured grounds.

“It’s truly a quintessential Showcase House and just breathtaking in its grandeur,” says 2022/23 Benefit Chair Matt McIntyre. “The estate is iconic and the grounds are just exquisite so it’s a very compelling property.” Over 20 interior and landscape designers have been selected to participate in this year’s house, and Mr. McIntyre was excited about their input. “This is such a spectacular piece of architecture with such a graciousness about it,” he says. “The designers have considered this and brought cutting-edge design while honoring the house’s traditional roots. The style is timeless,” he exclaims.
