This rare 1938 Moderne Streamline home is prominently anchored on a corner lot in the cherished Poppy Peak Hills area of Pasadena. Terraced living over three hillside levels, the architecture personifies the Bauhaus-infused design sensibility, not to mention leveraging Southern California's mild climate with its open floor plans and a cruise-liner inspired exterior, characterized by sweeping horizontal lines, concrete, expansive decks and tiered gardens that fan out from the 2,106 square foot home The reverse floorplan allows one to enter on the upper-most level with direct access to the living room, dining area, both with stunning hillside views, and a galley kitchen as well as a half bath. A broad outdoor deck, reminiscent of a steamliner's bow provides effortless alfresco entertaining and captivating hillside views. Downstairs the primary bedroom offers a full bath with dual vanity sinks and walk-in closet. There are two additional bedrooms, a complementary full bath with step-in shower and adjacent balcony on this middle level while the garage, laundry and storage can be found at the lower level. It’s old school style but with a updated roof, plumbing, wiring, sewer line, electrical panels, EV charger and roof-mounted owner-owned solar making it the best of both old and new.                 |

Very serene. Landscaping is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWith a little color, that would be stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. That galley kitchen still appears wide enough to maneuver. Love the white walls because any artwork adds color. One thing missing in Pasadena: Where's the pool?
ReplyDelete🤔 I like the reverse floor plan. I like white walls and lots of windows. But, last time I lived in CA (Monterey), I got spoiled forever. If I'm living in CA, some of my windows have to have a view of the Pacific! 🏝🌊☺️
ReplyDeleteIt's quite lovely until you hit that chartreuse (gag) bathroom! I wonder what they were thinking when they chose that puke color!
ReplyDeleteI like this one except for the baby poop green/yellow cabinets in the bathroom. That color should only be found in a diaper or a toilet not part of the decor.
ReplyDeleteBut the views! All that foliage is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI will bring some colorful paintings, when do you move in?
ReplyDeleteIt's almost ready to move in---A little art and color and I am set to go---I love the flow----The outdoor space is great----I love the windows and light-----Just a quick question----What view am I looking at when seated at the dinning table----I might have to fix that----Otherwise great selection-----
ReplyDeleteIncredible! The views from the windows are amazing, it isn't so large that I'd get lost in it, and that deck would be where I would spend most of my time.
ReplyDeleteThough I do agree the colour in the bathroom would need to be changed, stat!
The 1938 Streamline Moderne design brings timeless Bauhaus vibes, while the recent upgradessolar panels, EV charger, and new systems make it totally livable today. A perfect blend of vintage charm and modern updates
ReplyDeletethe dog's mother
ReplyDeleteI agree about that bathroom!!
Nice views.
xoxo :-)
My next move will be to a one level home as I'm getting old.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE, though Pasadena makes me immediately think of wildfires.
ReplyDeleteCharming. Welcoming. And a glorious surprise as you explore. What an incredible setting.
ReplyDeleteLove streamline moderne style houses.
ReplyDeleteI would plant jasmine, honeysuckle, boxwood and roses in the backyard to enrobe the house in an intoxicating fragrance. Needs a pool to complete the Southern California lifestyle. I would furnish the house in a combination of 20’s German Bauhaus and 30’s French Art Deco. The bathroom I would have done in black and white with brushed gold hardware, the lighting fixtures shown are a fine choice.
Now if I only had the money to buy it :)
