Description

This unique mid-century modern home was designed and built in 1967 by architect John Franklin Galbraith of Pasadena, CA. Galbraith was a noted modernist who designed a number of similarly styled structures throughout Southern California. His homes were featured in Architectural Digest during his peak output in the 1960s. Galbraith did his journeyman drafting work with Harold Bissner & Associates in Los Angeles, CA - who was also a well known modern designer of the 1950s. The home has been updated with contemporary fixtures and appliances but maintains the essence of its modernist roots. Concrete floors are stained and polished throughout the home with expansive glass walls almost seamlessly connecting the interior with the exterior. The result is a cool and tranquil environment based on the forward thinking vision of the modern era, coupled with the latest in features and amenities resulting in a relaxing, leisurely lifestyle.

Neighborhood Description

This home is located on Aurora Avenue between Imperial Avenue and Bucklin Park. The street is double wide with two bike lanes and on-street parking. Providing for a more spacious and comfortable flow of traffic and buffering the homes and front yards from street noise and moving vehicles. The home is also within walking distance to the regional medical center and a variety of other medical offices.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "Regardless of how safe the neighborhood is generally, it is better to always keep doors locked, both house and car. People from outside the neighborhood like to come and walk around in the middle of the night in the hopes that car doors are unlocked and this is happened a number of times throughout the years. "
