Perched on a canyon bluff in Pasadena's Annandale Estates neighborhood, this exceptional property is the epitome of modern minimalism. The home was originally built in 1953 by noted architect James DeLong, student of Frank Lloyd Wright and 2011 recipient of the LA Conservancy's Modern Masters Award. In a painstaking process, the original mid-century home was restored while also reimagined with a profoundly sophisticated yet serene aesthetic. The home speaks to the senses with the artful use of woods, stone, concrete and expansive windows that open on to lush grounds designed by the visually progressive and ecologically focused Terre Moto landscaping. Privately situated, this magical retreat is an experience from the moment you enter the front gate and step into the transportive environment. From wherever you stand, and wherever you look, there is a visual experience, a moment, to absorb and appreciate. Sited on over an acre, the main house features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, an open kitchen and step-down living room. Each surface and texture works in harmony to create an extraordinary sensory experience and every inch is a master class in space and function. Leaving the main structure, garden steps invite you to an ethereal and privately sited swimming pool and pool house with fireplace and a magnificent outdoor shower experience. Whether you are seeking soulful solitude, a romantic retreat, or someplace extraordinary to entertain, this property is truly a piece of artwork to inhabit and call home.
