Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in coveted Linda Vista, this 1962 Mid-Century modern masterpiece is a private and scenic retreat, offering a visual feast for architecture enthusiasts and serving as a testament to Pasadena's commitment to preserving its cultural heritage. The first time on the market and built by acclaimed architect Alfred H. Noble, Jr., this home is surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, welcoming you with warmth and sophistication. Gorgeous slate flooring flows through the home, accented by brand new carpet in the living room and primary suite. Central to the home is the kitchen, complete with newer counters and floors. There is a walk-in pantry, a desk/craft nook, and a laundry closet adjacent to the kitchen, as well as a breakfast eating area with a sliding glass door to the side yard and generous built-in cabinets with glass sliding fronts, perfect for showcasing your most beloved curios. Step outside to the rear yard featuring a meandering stepping stone walkway to a cascading waterfall flowing into a pond, along with multiple patio areas designed for year-round enjoyment, including an outdoor stone fireplace, all set within a verdant backdrop of magnificent Italian stone pines, beautiful mountain views, and breathtaking sunrises and moonrises. The home was featured in Better Homes and Gardens in 1966, and the gorgeous garden was featured in the Pasadena Star News in an article titled 'Fran's Bird Garden', showcasing the lush gardens with Eastern Redbuds, countless varieties of hydrangeas, and camellias. There is an adjacent 'garden room' with built-in storage, countertop, utility sink, and louvered windows that overlook the rear yard. Don't miss the detached temperature-controlled wine cellar with shelves to hold many bottles. From the front porch, there is a side door entry to a two-car garage with built-in shelving and pull-down access to more storage above. This mid-century modern triumph highlights clean lines and an open floor plan to achieve a strong emphasis on functionality and a connection to the outdoors through large glass walls and louvered windows. Nestled in the picturesque Pegfair Estates Historic District in Pasadena is this hidden gem that showcases the elegance of 20th-century architecture. Don't miss this rare offering in one of the most peaceful enclaves, where privacy and nature converge.
