About This Home
Designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Ainsworth, Angel & McClellan, with landscape architecture by Kenneth S. Nakaba, this architecturally significant residence is tucked within Pasadena's coveted San Rafael neighborhood. Influenced by both California modernism and Japanese architecture, the home is defined by warm redwood detailing, smooth plaster walls, expansive walls of glass, and a timeless palette of wood, custom millwork, and travertine. With its strong architectural framework and enduring design, the residence presents a rare opportunity for thoughtful restoration while remaining true to its original vision. The living spaces open to lush, park-like surroundings framed by mature trees, sculptural landscaping, and winding garden pathways. A pool, spa, and multiple outdoor entertaining areas are seamlessly integrated into the landscape, creating a tranquil outdoor setting with exceptional scale and opportunity for thoughtful enhancement. Designed as a private sanctuary, the primary suite features a dramatic skylight, intimate sitting area, and spa-inspired bathroom. Separate guest quarters offer remarkable independence and flexibility, complete with a living room, dining area, full kitchen, and spacious bedroom, making them ideal for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire a residence of such architectural significance in such a coveted setting. With its strong architectural pedigree, timeless material palette, exceptional bones, and remarkable setting, the home offers a rare opportunity to thoughtfully restore and elevate a significant work of architecture while shaping its next chapter.
