About This Home
As of March 2025OFFER DEADLINE: Monday February 24th at Noon. The Conrad Buff II Residence, Buff & Hensman FAIA. Situated in the scenic hills above the Annandale Golf Club, the home was originally designed in 1955 for artist Conrad Buff II, the father of firm co-founder Conrad Buff III. In 2017 the property underwent a thoughtful, all-encompassing down to the studs renovation + expansion led by Dennis Smith, partner and architect of Buff, Smith & Hensman. It was subsequently the recipient of a Pasadena Historic Preservation Award in 2018, having been honored for both restoration and preservation efforts. The firm's signature post-and-beam structure has been blended seamlessly with contemporary systems and amenities, merging timeless mid-century design and modern living. A private and spacious primary suite addition includes a sitting area with sliding door facing picturesque views. The vastly expanded kitchen features well organized and sophisticated Walnut cabinetry surrounding Miele appliances. Fleetwood doors and windows have been utilized for the home's extensive floor to ceiling glazing, providing direct access to the outdoors from nearly every room and framing both distant canyon and nearby landscape views. An expansive IPE wood deck provides the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing in privacy. Lush landscaping, designed by Ivette Soler, enriches the connection to the surrounding environment. Notably, this residence served as the firm's office for a period, further adding to its historical significance. A rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. An exceptional property that combines elegant simplicity with the utmost in contemporary comfort.
