With nearly 2,100 square feet of interior living space, this beautifully restored Pasadena single level home was designed by the famed architect Calvin Straub (for his own personal residence) and constructed in 1957. The u-shaped abode offers three bedrooms and two full baths, and has plenty of room to spread out, both indoors and out.

The home is light and bright throughout given its numerous walls of glass and beamed ceilings. In the past year, it has been restored by HabHouse, which brought it back to its initial post and beam concept, while at the same time adding many of today’s conveniences such as stone countertops in the kitchen, and new state-of-the-art appliances.

As an added bonus, there is also a large fireplace in the living room. The master bedroom – which opens directly out to the back patio – also offers a large walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom.

Outside you will find a beautifully landscaped yard (which is roughly a quarter-acre in size) that includes a fantastic enclosed – and partially shaded – patio space. The long driveway provides an additional layer of privacy.
