This California home has a Tiki lounge and a secret tunnel

This trophy California home comes with a suite of cinematic amenities.
In Pasadena, a sprawling estate with more lavish recreational amenities than some American towns is set to hit the market Friday for $38.5 million, the Post can reveal.
Steps from the Los Angeles outpost of the luxurious Langham Hotel, the compound at 2 Oak Knoll Terrace consists of two distinct structures, one offering a luxurious home and the other an entertainment mecca.
The expansive main house has six bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, three laundry rooms, a library, formal dining and living rooms, six fireplaces and a finished basement with a vault and wine room spanning its 12,300 square feet. There is also a 46-seat movie theatre, a secret bar and a library with a pub room.
Then, in the 20,000-square-foot entertainment complex, there is a central atrium with 36-foot ceilings, a gallery, a museum, a gym, a catering kitchen, five more bathrooms, an upstairs apartment and a tiki room. The thatch-roofed cocktail bar and totem “by one of the leading living Pacific artists”, say press materials.


To get up and down, residents can choose between an elevator and a nautilus-shaped spiral staircase.
Not in the mood to venture out? Both structures are connected by an underground tunnel equipped with an elevator.
On the grounds, there is also a pool with a grill station, a secondary kitchen, a cabana with changing rooms and a covered pavilion.
The main residence was designed by Hollywood Bowl architect Myron Hunt, and later expanded by architect Gordon Kaufman. The secondary complex, meanwhile, was built in 1973 by mid-century architects Ladd and Kelsey and housed the art collection of philanthropist Virginia Steele Scott until it was donated to the Huntington Museum in San Marino. .
“It is the only known property in the country that includes a fully-restored historically-significant house with a commercial-grade museum set on 2.5 acres of gated park-like grounds,” Pasadena now previously reported the property, adding that it would never be contested because “current zoning would never allow the construction of a property of this size and configuration.”
The list is held by Ernie Carswell of Douglas Elliman, Brent Chang of Compass, and George Penner of DC Penner.
