95 Tustin RD Pasadena, CA 91105

Design wins, simplicity stands out and here, nature is the ultimate inspiration. Designed to maximize the quintessential Southern California lifestyle and sited to benefit from natural light, sweeping vistas and garden views, this mid-century modern home is quiet luxury defined. From the stacked brick facade curving into the entry and living room, to the aggregate bench hearth in the family room amplifying the artistry of terrazzo floors, elegance and welcome are the mantra. Brass inlays score the terrazzo creating symmetry and warmth that crescendos at the copper fireplace hood separating living and dining rooms. An array of carefully curated brass lighting fixtures echo this warm welcoming feeling, carrying it to every room. Designed by Albert Frey disciple Harold B. Zook, meticulously renovated in conjunction with noteworthy Angelenos architect Emily Farnham, interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel and landscape architects Terremoto, from curb to fence and far beyond the eye is engaged. The kitchen is a refined showpiece where hues of green and grey mingle, pulling leafy landscapes indoors through walls of windows blurring boundaries between indoor and outdoor space. Practical features include large walk-in pantry, high end appliances and dramatic marble island with double-waterfall seating for four, and adjacent large laundry room. A breakfast room, with walls of glass, looks toward Annandale Canyon. Although totally open to a large outdoor patio and canyon garden view, the space feels protected and private; perfect for sleepy morning conversation over coffee or tea. A showcase vestibule separates the primary suite from public and family spaces, with picture windows serving as art walls offering sun drenched built-in sofa seating below blue skylight views. The primary suite turns up the design volume with absolute integration of indoor and outdoor space and artfully simple interior choices with built in headboard, night stand stands and pendant lighting, it is a true retreat. Heated floors and huge walk-in closet are fun and a beautiful spa-like bathroom boasts a splendid canyon view from the soaking tub. The property opens and blossoms here where views of pool, patios, gardens, canyons and mountains conspire to create an ever changing one-of-a-kind experience. Brilliant architecture, design collaboration over generations, and the perfect Pasadena hilltop perch above the Arroyo Seco intersect to create this unicorn experience. There is only one.
