An Iconic Mid-Century Modern Retreat

A true Mid-Century Modern original, this privately gated residence is an extraordinary blend of architectural character, playful sophistication, and resort-style living. Set on approximately half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, the 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers 3,056 square feet of meticulously considered living space in a discreet Pasadena setting near the Rose Bowl, Old Town, and the Colorado Bridge.

Designed around its natural surroundings, the residence is wrapped in walls of glass that bring the gardens into nearly every room. Original architectural sensibilities are complemented by custom craftsmanship, rich woods, clean lines, skylights, and carefully selected finishes that honor the home’s Mid-Century roots.

At the center is an exceptional Italian-designed kitchen featuring rare 1960s wood and marble, Gaggenau appliances, and a separate full-service kitchen built for serious entertaining. A custom library, projector-screen theater, integrated smart-home systems, and a dramatic see-through fireplace add both function and personality.

Beyond the glass, the property becomes its own private playground. A deep blue pool, oversized spa, fountains, putting green, sand trap, and sophisticated landscape lighting create an idyllic setting for entertaining or unwinding. The grounds also feature an extraordinary custom play area with a 100-foot zipline, 20-foot swingset, in-ground trampoline, and a custom playhouse that can double as a guest studio or creative retreat.

The primary suite is equally distinctive, featuring a spa-inspired bath and imported English glass soaking tub. A detached workshop, dedicated dog spa with private run, dual-zone HVAC, and expansive carport with game-room potential complete the offering.

Equal parts architectural time capsule and highly personalized modern retreat, this is a property with a personality all its own—an exceptionally rare opportunity to experience Pasadena through the lens of Mid-Century Modern design.
