Timeless and majestic in every way, this mid-century architectural masterpiece is a rare and unique home woven into the fabric of Los Angeles. Situated within the sought-after South Pasadena School District, and originally designed in 1967 by acclaimed architect James Allen Walter, The Siodmak House offers a unique opportunity to live in a comprehensive architectural work of art. Celebrated for its significance, style and flow, La Fremontia is more than a home - it's an icon. Set back from the street and nestled at the apex of a private cul-de-sac, the residence features a dramatic entrance, inward-facing open plan, and outdoor spaces that embrace indoor-outdoor living while ensuring privacy. Enter through an exposed courtyard, revealing a "U-shaped" layout with a large central courtyard separating two wings. Glass walls frame greenery from every window. Perched on a 24,000 sq ft lot adjacent to the private Coyotl + Macehualli Reserve, the home is surrounded by lush greenery: a private sanctuary complete with avocado tree, succulents, and pines, with landscaping designed by award-winning Johnston Vidal Projects. In-ground pool with built-in retractable cover, expansive wood deck offer serene lounging under a canopy of curated trees, where you can drift away the days. Second sitting area offers additional relaxing space where the SoCal vibe continues. Inside recent renovations blend with original post-and-beam construction, vaulted ceilings, and shoji-style sliding doors. The remodeled kitchen boasts a 12 foot soapstone island, top-of-the-line professional grade Thermador appliances, custom wooden cabinets, and ample storage, while the living room with its beamed ceiling and traditional fireplace makes for cozy comfort. With 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, over 2,200 sq ft of living space, an attached 2-car garage, and thoughtfully renovated in 2019, La Fremontia is a rare opportunity to own a piece of California design history. Featured in Domus, Better Homes & Gardens, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times, this home is a true oasis within the city, where you and yours can continue its legacy.
