A rare offering, this residence stands among Pasadena's most exceptional Mid-Century Modern homes, distinguished by its gated setting, exceptional privacy and a backyard that unfolds as a true oasis. Originally designed in 1955 by noted architect Arthur C. Swab (AIA), the home is a study in light, proportion, and seamless indoor-outdoor living--thoughtfully updated for today while preserving its architectural integrity. A thoughtfully designed approach opens to a spacious parking area finished with interlocking pavers, setting the tone for the seclusion and refinement found throughout the property. At the front, mature fruit trees create a welcoming, garden-like introduction. Expansive walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing natural light to move freely throughout. Beyond, lush tropical landscaping and mature trees create a layered, private backdrop--more retreat than residence. The interiors unfold with quiet sophistication. A formal living room, anchored by a fireplace, opens to a tranquil patio, while the family room--equally warm and inviting--connects effortlessly to the kitchen. Here, custom cabinetry, granite surfaces, and stainless-steel appliances balance function and refinement. The dining area is perfectly positioned to capture garden and pool views, offering stunning walls of glass that create a cinematic setting for both daily living and intimate gatherings. The primary suite serves as a serene refuge, complemented by three additional bedrooms and bathrooms--each space thoughtfully designed not only to maintain comfort and architectural continuity, but to also provide versatility and flexibility to adapt to a variety of lifestyles. The detached studio with its own bath provides a flexible, design-forward extension of the home, ideal as a fifth bedroom, office, studio or gym. Outdoors, the experience becomes distinctly resort-like. A pebble-finish saltwater pool and spa are framed by curated landscaping and shaded lounge areas, while an outdoor kitchen invites effortless entertaining beneath a canopy of mature greenery.Modern enhancements--including a solar system and whole-home water filtration--further elevate everyday livability. Set within the coveted Pasadena foothills, just moments from the city's best dining, shopping, and conveniences, this is a residence that offers both architectural pedigree and a rare sense of private escape.
