About This Property
Sited for stunning panoramas on over half an acre, this elegant
1950s Modern boasts the best poolside view in Pasadena. The home is
a striking composition of geometry and clean lines in a natural
setting, removed yet close enough to the vibrant city.A beautiful
sculptural pine tree stands tall at the entrance, casting organic
shaped shadows on the white stucco facade. Passing through the
double smoky mirrored glass front doors is an experience in the
unexpected: an awe inspiring, sweeping vista of the San Gabriel
Valley, Pasadena, and beyond, from Linda Vista and the Arroyo to
Mount Wilson and Baldy in the distance.This is truly an
entertainer's home, where the entry reveals inviting spaces in
every direction: a formal dining room, large living and sitting
rooms, a wet bar, and a lavish balcony. Polished parquet wood
floors, a stone fireplace, and glass surfaces reflect the natural
light streaming in through walls of windows. The interior is
defined by intersecting volumes and arresting views; it is
captivating architecture in a spectacular setting.A large chef's
kitchen with an oversized breakfast bar island and walk-in pantry,
along with a powder bath, completes the main level of the
home.Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys ample natural light from
clerestory and corner windows overlooking the Rose Bowl. A private
sunken sitting lounge features a second decorative fireplace,
offering a classic 1950s conversation pit feel. Multiple walk-in
closets, a vanity area, balconies, and a generous full bath with
skylights complete this dream space, with the laundry room and
additional storage conveniently nearby.On the lower level, you will
find the second bedroom, a three-quarter bath with a stylish stone
mosaic floor, and a den or guest bedroom opening to the
backyard.Outdoors, the lush backyard offers a sparkling pool with a
sitting deck, bar area, and terraced gardens. Olive, Jacaranda,
Ficus, and Oak trees punctuate the property, offering privacy and
quiet, along with the enjoyment of festive Rose Bowl happenings in
the background throughout the year.With an attached two-car garage
offering direct access to the kitchen and pantry, and located just
two miles from Old Town Pasadena, 1.5 miles from beloved Little
Flower Cafe, and close to abundant outdoor recreation, museums, and
cultural options, this is a home to cherish.
