Perched in the Pasadena hillsides, this remarkable mid-century modern home epitomizes serenity. Originally designed by Harold J. Bissner, Jr. in 1960, the residence was more recently restored and elevated by the award-winning firm Design, Bitches in 2016. The home rests privately on a nearly half-acre lot with tennis/pickleball court and pool. The quintessential single-story period wood and glass vocabulary with gable roof provides abundant natural light, effortless flow and seamless transitions to the outdoors.The quiet foyer of honed tiling, double-door with original translucent sidelight bubble panels creates an immediate sense of calm. The substantial travertine fireplace grounds the living room with Fleetwood sliders that open to a peaceful outdoor garden patio, personifying the space into the optimal entertaining environment. The expansive kitchen and dining area acts as the perfect multi-purpose space, surrounded by full-height sliders that provide immediate access to the spacious backyard patio, pool and period firepit. Chef's kitchen includes Effeti Cucine custom cabinetry, Miele convection + steam ovens, gas cooktop and dishwasher, Thermador refrigerator, and an oversized island. Adjacent service wing with secondary service kitchen/pantry, backyard access, full bath, laundry room and gym with direct entry to the side motor court. A slatted tongue and groove soffit and glass gallery acts as the spine for the sleeping wing.

The tranquil bathroom includes a sunken tub, separate shower and dual vanity with a generous walk-in closet. Guest bedroom with bathroom ensuite. Two additional bedrooms share a connected bathroom.
