This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Mid-Century masterpiece designed by notable Pasadena architect James G. Resh (1959). Perched above Brookside Golf Course and bookending Linda Vista Avenue, this special property has no adjacent neighbors, and is surrounded by mature oak covered hillsides, creating a secluded respite from busy city life. Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass frame 180-degree views of the San Gabriel Mountains and Brookside Golf Course. This home showcases key characteristics of mid-century design: a strong connection to the outdoors, soaring ceilings, masterful use of wood and glass, and a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. With a courtyard at the main entrance, and three balcony decks, this stunning residence offers multiple areas to gather with friends and family. The expansive decks create unique settings in which to read a book, recline under the mature oak canopy, or watch red-tailed hawks soaring over the Arroyo. The open floor-plan unites living and dining areas, with a Swedish fireplace accenting this great space. The kitchen is anchored by a large cooking island, with views to the Arroyo and adjacent entry court. It also offers a breakfast nook and plenty of cabinet space. A guest bedroom/office completes the main level. The lower level features a family room and 3 bedrooms, including a primary suite with access to a balcony deck, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, sunken tub, and a stall shower. A second bedroom also has direct access to the main lower balcony. The second and third bedrooms on this level share a jack-and-jill bathroom. A storage room/greenhouse is attached to and accessible through the garage. Conveniently located near the Rose Bowl and minutes away from Old Town and the heart of Pasadena. Upgrades include: new energy efficient insulated roof, three levels of new bamboo decks, new carpeting, stainless steel kitchen appliances and new Herman Miller light fixtures.
