Occupied since its 1950s inception by only three owners, the modernist home in Pasadena is now on the market for the first time in over 40 years.
Crafted by noted architect John F. Galbraith, this especially fetching abode was custom-built in the early 1950s. Known as the James Residence for its original owners and believed to be the architect’s first midcentury-modern project inPamela Anderson’s Red ‘Baywatch’ Swimsuit Will Be on View at the Design Museum in LondonLizzo's Modern Beverly Hills Home Just Hit the Market for $16 Million
Nestled amid a nearly four-acre parcel in an exclusive seven-home neighborhood known as The Point—on land that once housed the circa-1890 , which welcomed well-heeled guests such as President Ulysses S. Grant, railway magnate Collis P. Huntington, poet Helen Hunt Jackson and developer Abbot Kinney during its day—the exterior of the single-level cedar structure is marked by a low overhanging roofline.
Among the highlights is a slate-paved entry foyer that leads to a window-lined living room centered around a skylight-topped brick fireplace sporting a floating hearth. The wood-slatted ceiling was handcrafted by local artisan Ernie Greenway as part of one of two major Galbraith-led renovations completed throughout the years. A dining area around the corner connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with updated stainless appliances.
Elsewhere is a wood-paneled family room adorned with built-in shelving, along with a bonus space holding a media room and an office nook with two integrated desks. Sequestered down a hallway is the primary bedroom, which flows to a bath equipped with dual vanities and a relaxing soaking tub tucked away next to a shower.
Not to be left out are the lushly landscaped grounds, which host a sizable sundeck-encased pool flanked by towering oak trees, as well as plenty of spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also a circular driveway out front that winds around to a two-car garage at the rear of the property.Here's How the Real Estate Market Will Fare Next Year, According to 2025 Housing ForecastsThis $3.
