Description

The first time on the market since 1964, this iconic mid-century modern, post-and-beam house was designed by one of the most renowned architecture firms of its time, Buff & Hensman. This four bedroom three bath house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the San Rafael neighborhood of Pasadena. Nestled in a large lot and set away from the street, it offers tranquility and privacy. As you meander down the paved steps to the front door, you are surrounded by a beautiful Japanese garden filled with trees...The first time on the market since 1964, this iconic mid-century modern, post-and-beam house was designed by one of the most renowned architecture firms of its time, Buff & Hensman. This four bedroom three bath house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the San Rafael neighborhood of Pasadena. Nestled in a large lot and set away from the street, it offers tranquility and privacy. As you meander down the paved steps to the front door, you are surrounded by a beautiful Japanese garden filled with trees and shade. Inside, there are soaring walls of glass, a timeless brick fireplace, and views of the serene outdoor surroundings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining area open to the living room as well as a breakfast nook with built-in cabinets. Each bedroom is its own sanctuary lit with amazing natural light and verdant views. The updated bathrooms highlight the architecture featuring both modern and natural materials. The master bathroom is like stepping into a spa retreat with stone floors and views of a zen garden. Downstairs you will find another family room with a wet bar, and an additional bedroom and bathroom.  This house is authentic and current, truly a timeless, one of a kind offering in Pasadena.
