One-of-a-kind, single level designer home in prime Pasadena, completely re-imagined and expanded in 2004\\. Designed by renowned SoCal architect Aleks Istanbullu, AIA, this ~3000sft custom, site-specific home couples Mid-Century and contemporary influences with thoughtful orientation to create easy indoor/outdoor living while maintaining its identity as a showcase piece of art. Special, custom materials were used at every opportunity: sustainable Marvin windows and sliding doors, FSC and Rainforest Alliance certified BOEN engineered wood floors and intentionally placed Velux skylights which take full advantage of the sunlight and moonlight to create a playful and sensual ambiance. Cool off in the ultimate saltwater pool with natural beach pebble or escape to the charming writers retreat overlooking the park-like atmosphere created on this usable ~18,000sft lot. There is an ongoing dialogue between this property and its inhabitants-what will your conversation be?
