riginally designed by noted architect eodore Pletsch in
1956, this majestic Mid-century Modern pad in Pasadena's
coveted Huntington Library neighborhood has since been
fully remodeled and expanded by architecture firm Stamps
& Stamps, led by former South Pasadena Mayor Odom Stamps,
and interior designer Sarah McKay of Colab House. e result? A
modern, organic residence in keeping with the ideal California life-
style—complete with floor-to-ceiling walls of glass in almost every
room—paired with picturesque grounds that pay homage to its glam-
orous Hollywood Regency lineage with giant cypress and olive trees
flanking a sparkling pool and spa, plus a swanky built-in barbecue
area and cabana ideal for entertaining.
"is home is truly a hidden architectural gem in Pasadena," says
listing agent Michele Downing of the residence, which was devel-
oped by e H Group. "e elegant style and chic, clean finishes are
what bring out the California indoor-outdoor lifestyle."
Set on a 25,000-square-foot lot, the gated six-bedroom, eight-
bath dwelling features 7,400 square feet of sleek, light-filled living
space on a single, U-shaped level rife with custom stone and white
oak millwork, limestone, travertine, designer lighting and hardwood
flooring throughout. Among the show-stopping features: a striking,
10-foot-tall black steel and glass pivoting door that opens to reveal
an attractive library hall presenting a head-on view of the outdoors,
as well as a gourmet kitchen with a massive marble-topped island
and high-end appliances.
e sumptuous master retreat is a particular standout, boasting
a large designer showroom closet and swoon-worthy bath outfitted
with a massive curved shower wall clad in white marble tile, white
oak vanities and a standalone soaking tub. "It provides a plethora of
sophistication and luxurious features, with access to the bath from
either end of the room, and features an impressive floor-to-ceiling
glass shower," says Downing.
Hearkening back to the 1950s, this newly offered propert y has
undergone a complete transformation from the inside-out.
