About This Home
Architect-designed Mid-Century in Prime Linda VistaThis stunning mid-century ranch, designed by Edwin R. Cleaveland, sits in the hills above the Rose Bowl and showcases iconic walls of glass that frame mountain views and open to a private, beautifully landscaped yard with outdoor kitchen and fire pit. Thoughtful upgrades throughout include a new roof (2022), fully owned solar (~$35K), 400 AMP electrical panel + upgraded main line, new HVAC and ductwork, tankless water heater, and updated downspouts and drains. Baldwin hardware on all exterior doors adds a designer touch. The fenced property features approx. $50K in landscaping, plus fresh interior/exterior paint (2025), and a refreshed basement and garage with epoxy flooring and solar-powered ventilation. Enjoy proximity to Old Town Pasadena, ArtCenter, Rose Bowl, Kidspace Museum, and miles of trails in this dog-friendly neighborhood. A rare find that blends architectural pedigree, privacy, and smart updates!
