Located in the desirable San Rafael neighborhood of Pasadena, this stunning mid-century post & beam home is privately situated on ? acres behind stone walls and a gated entry. The 4 bedroom, 4 bath home was designed by noted architect and USC School of Architecture graduate Hideo Matsunaga in 1960. Matsunaga's design beautifully incorporated elements of a Japanese country home including sliding walls of glass, vaulted wood ceilings and an extensive wrap-around veranda. The home has been thoughtfully restored and updated throughout the years while still maintaining the integrity of the original design -- blending the classic Japanese architecture with modern conveniences. The heart of the home is an open living and dining space anchored by a large brick fireplace and treetop views of a sprawling mature oak tree. The home's kitchen is newly updated with custom wood cabinetry and a large eat-in island. The kitchen opens to a family room, butler's pantry and built-in bar. A private bedroom wing on the first level of the home includes two bedrooms, two baths as well as the primary suite featuring two walk-in closets and an updated bath with a stand alone tub and large glass shower. A spiral staircase takes you down to a 4th bedroom suite and den with built-in desk, media cabinet and wet bar.
