Description

Designed by famed Mid-Century Architect Harold Bissner Jr., this pedigreed pool home offers a rare chance to live the "Mad Men'' life of Pasadena circa 1961. Sited at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and set far back from the street, this masterfully conceived Modern home was originally part of Nyberg & Bissner's cutting edge San Pasqual Estates development. Featuring four bedrooms and three baths including a spacious master suite with private pool access. The sunlit living room and family room both lead guests out to the rear pool/entertainers patio area while the interior space is dramatically bisected by a pass-through fireplace. The fourth bedroom doubles as a home office with it's own private bath. The home truly embodies the indoor/outdoor ethos of West Coast Mid-Century style where casually sharing sun-steeped optimism with family and friends was the true embodiment of the California Dream. It's time to come home.
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.
