About This Home
As of July 2021Simply the best of everything. Once featured in the LA times, this unique home was designed & renovated by an HGTV designer. Located in secluded enclave of homes on 1.5 lots with ample street parking. After a $490,000+ remodel, this property is filled with sensuous design elements & designed in a comfortable modern farmhouse style. Blending stylish sophistication, intriguing artistic & architectural drama, captivating garden serenity, quality, warmth, ease, spaciousness, romance & luxury, this home simply has it all. The calm of a towering sculpted glass & natural boulder fountain greets you at the entrance & sets the mood for this peaceful paradise. An open concept floor-plan & unique details are yours to enjoy. Most of the cabinetry & millwork was handmade by Basque craftsmen of reclaimed wood from local & Pasadena area Victorian homes. You have never seen anything like this workmanship. Stunning wood details including sandblasted beams, trims, & doors. Soaring walls of stacked stone & skylights with motorized blinds abound. A large sunken living room with a wall of glass & double-sided fireplace opens to a secluded & spacious garden deck accessed by retractable NanaWall doors from a huge open kitchen with natural granite, Viking, Bosch & Subzero appliances, and a massive center island with seating. 2 copper sinks, 80 bottle wine cooler, warming drawer, an instant hot tap & amazing kitchen storage —it is truly the heart of the home. 3 fireplace locations. An enormous room-sized dream closet with special built-in cabinetry is Pinterest-worthy. Cathedral ceilings in the Master Suite flood the room with light & a remarkable Master Bath filled with natural light feels like outdoors. It features a huge hammered copper soaking tub, shower jets, rock walls with fossils & is a complete spa wet room. Adjacent to another bedroom, a specially configured additional bath is a complete steam/shower/spa room. A large & bright den/library/artist loft/exercise area opens to a private elevated view deck.
