3 Bedrooms | 3.5 Bathrooms | 2,318 Square Feet | 0.33-Acre Lot. Positioned along a private road in Pasadena's Linda Vista enclave, this mid-century modern residence carries an extraordinary architectural pedigree. Designed and constructed in 1961 by B. Williams, in an enclave developed by S. Merendino, both members of the faculty at USC's School of Architecture, the property remains a definitive expression of the modernist principles its architects championed. Situated on a 0.33-acre parcel, the 2,318-square-foot residence is integrated into its hillside site, commanding unobstructed views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the Pasadena cityscape, and the iconic Rose Bowl. A private drive approaches the home through a sequence that separates the residence from its surroundings, arriving at a sheltered carport marked by an oversized, lacquered-in-red pivot door, an architectural statement that anticipates the design within. The interior is organized around a great room defined by a chef's kitchen of industrial refinement and an original steel-hooded fireplace serving as sculptural centerpiece. Retractable Fleetwood glass dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, opening the residence to its mountain, city, and stadium views while extending living space onto a series of balconies, decks, and terraced patios. The upper-level primary suite, features an en suite bathroom and private balcony with uninterrupted views. The lower level houses the second primary suite, featuring an en suite bathroom and built-in furnishings. One additional bedroom with a bathroom completes the lower level. Between 2008 and 2010, architect Tom Marble completed a comprehensive renovation that earned the property a 2017 Historic Preservation Award, incorporating contemporary materials and solar electric integration. Subsequent ownership has extended this stewardship through permaculture landscape design with Anigo Garden Design and Kelly L. Kinney. Greywater irrigation system, an outdoor kitchen, expanded deck areas, and saltwater pool and spa, furthering the property's indoor-outdoor living across its 0.33-acre setting. This is a rare offering: a preservation-award-winning mid-century modern estate in Linda Vista, Pasadena, combining architectural provenance, panoramic views, and thoughtful modern stewardship.
