The Thomas J. Atol Residence. William Kesling - Kesling Modern Structures. Rare 1938 International Streamline home prominently anchored on a corner lot in the cherished Poppy Peak Hills area of Pasadena. Kesling's unquestionable creativity and design talents were only superseded by his apparent financial misdeeds - serving in San Quentin for fraud in 1937 and allegedly allowing the John L. Hudson Construction Company to oversee and sign-off on the completion of the home while he was in prison. Terraced living over three hillside levels, the architecture personifies the Bauhaus-infused design sensibility, not to mention leveraging Southern California's mild climate with its open floor plans and access to the outdoors via its combination of decks, tiered gardens, balcony and leafy patio spaces. The reverse floorplan allows one to enter on the upper-most level with direct access to the living room, dining area, galley kitchen with newer dishwasher and Sub-Zero refrigerator as well as a half bath. A broad outdoor deck, reminiscent of a steamliner's bow provides effortless alfresco entertaining and captivating hillside views. The primary bedroom offers a full bath with dual vanity sinks and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a complementary full bath with step-in shower and adjacent balcony complete the middle level. Garage, laundry and storage can be found at the lower level. Updated roof, plumbing, wiring, sewer line, electrical panels, Tesla EV charger and roof-mounted owner-owned solar.
