For the first time since it was built by its original owners, this remarkable Mid-Century residence is ready for its next chapter. A true legacy property, this cherished home has remained in the same family for generations, where a lifetime of memories was made. Now, it offers a rare opportunity for its next steward to continue that legacy. Nestled at the base of the foothills in Pasadena's desirable Sierra Madre Villa neighborhood, moments from Eaton Canyon Golf Course, this distinctive residence blends classic Mid-Century architecture with Japanese-inspired design, creating a peaceful retreat unlike any other. A stone entry welcomes you inside. The sunken living room features parquet hardwood flooring & a striking Japandi-inspired fireplace with an integrated conversation pit, crafted from rock gathered from the very land on which the home was built, creating a warm gathering space that blends Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian comfort. Just beyond, a traditional tatami room offers flexibility as a meditation room, tea room, or private office. Walnut-paneled walls, expansive glass doors & abundant natural light define the adjoining family room, which opens to a bright sunroom overlooking the gardens. The kitchen features luxury vinyl plank flooring, tile countertops, recessed lighting, an in-wall oven, gas cooktop with integrated grill, breakfast bar seating & convenient access to the detached 2-car garage. The private bedroom wing includes 2 secondary bedrooms & a full bath. Traditional Shoji sliding doors enhance the home's authentic architectural character, while the primary suite offers a peaceful escape with sliding glass doors opening to a private patio beside a gently bubbling pond. The ensuite bath features dual vanities, a walk-in shower & a deep Japanese ofuro soaking tub overlooking a serene Zen garden with its own fountain. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds invite quiet reflection & effortless entertaining. Handmade stone paver pathways, many crafted from materials sourced directly from the property, lead to multiple patios, a covered deck, tranquil water features & a spectacular wisteria-covered arbor. An adjacent undeveloped parcel, available separately & ideally purchased together, presents an exceptional opportunity to expand the estate or preserve the remarkable privacy of this unique setting. This is more than a home; it is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a timeless Pasadena legacy.
