Description
Designed in 1960 by notable Pasadena architect James G. Resh, a pioneering voice in California's modern ranch movement, this rare ground-level garden residence rests along Pasadena's storied Millionaire's Row. Occupying a coveted corner position with no shared walls, the home offers the privacy, scale, and quiet presence more often associated with a standalone home than a condominium. Rooted in the optimism of postwar California modernism, the architecture embraces natural light, the surrounding landscape, and a seamless connection between indoors and out. Thoughtfully reimagined by Studio Sinergia in 2025, the interiors preserve the restrained elegance of the original architecture while introducing tailored millwork, custom plantation shutters, and carefully composed lighting throughout. At the heart of the home, an expansive living room is anchored by a sculptural fireplace and framed by oversized windows that draw soft natural light deep into the interiors. Just beyond, the dining room opens directly to a covered flagstone terrace where the sound of a tranquil water feature and the surrounding gardens create a sense of calm rarely found within the city. Dual-pane windows throughout lend remarkable stillness to the interiors, softening the world beyond into something distant and serene. The kitchen has been quietly refined with custom-painted cabinetry, a suite of new appliances, and a charming breakfast nook overlooking the lush central courtyard, creating an intimate setting for slow mornings beneath the trees. A long central corridor connects the private living quarters, where a generous guest bedroom and bath with dual vanities accompany the serene primary suite retreat. A dedicated laundry room is discreetly integrated within the plan, while an additional private rear patio further extends the home's effortless indoor-outdoor rhythm.Ideally positioned in the heart of Pasadena, just moments from Old Town Pasadena, South Pasadena, and Highland Park, the residence is surrounded by some of the area's most celebrated cultural and outdoor destinations, including Brookside Park, Arroyo Seco Park, Arlington Garden, Norton Simon Museum, and The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. The residence also includes two assigned parking spaces and substantial storage within the shared garage.
