‘Real Housewife’ Erika Jayne Lists Vintage Architectural in Pasadena for $13M

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne put her detail-packed residential period-piece in Pasadena up for sale this spring, and if your taste tends toward the opulence of 1920s details this 10,277 square-footer is certainly worth a look.

It’s hard to find a house that has a ‘cathedral room’ as an amenity; a spiritually specialized spot in an American home is a rare species, outside of the vaguely Zen meditation garden-with-Buddha that pops up here and there in high-dollar SoCal pads. In this house, the spiritual center is a little prayer room with a groin vaulted ceiling embellished with frescoes and a pair of lantern pendants. An icon-filled wall niche and a bronze frieze complete the benedictory atmosphere.

Bronze also pops up in the front door; it’s solid bronze, according to the listing. Other extraordinary touches at work in the villa include walnut paneling, coffered ceilings, milled plaster flourishes, inlaid oak floors, tile floors, and silk panoramic wall covering. A kitchen with a Moroccan-style stove backsplash and a butcher-block island cap and a wine cellar with a hardwood bottle rack, a library with a pair of fireplaces, and a private reading room off the master with carved built-in bookshelves also command the eye.

The grounds measure in at nearly two acres, with a rose garden, lawns, plentiful mature trees, pergolas, brick walking paths and patios, water features, and what appears to be a rill standing between the house and swimming pool in back.

The house is currently on the open market with a $13 million asking price.
