Located in a highly sought-after Pasadena neighborhood, this stunning San Rafael mid century modern home stands as a testament to the enduring ingenuity of architect Roland Logan Russell, the former AIA president. Designed as his personal residence and constructed with an eye for modernist design and functionality in 1950, this single-level residence exudes a timeless style that continues to inspire today.

Russell’s concept of creating a living space that celebrates simplicity and boasts a deep connection with nature is reflected in his harmonious blend between the surroundings and living spaces.

The airy and bright living space of the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is accentuated by the abundance of windows and exposure to the outdoors. The open floor plan creates an easy flow throughout the home and leads to a welcoming backyard space.

The open dining area offers views into the living room and is ideal for dinner with friends and family. The bright and spacious kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage space, including a generously sized pantry.

In the primary suite, you will find dual closets and large windows offering views of the lush gardens. The attached bathroom features a custom curved tub by Neptune. In the second bedroom, you’ll find an additional bathroom with an oversized shower.

An additional 115 square feet of bonus space off the garage features clerestory windows that filter in light and offer privacy, making it perfect for remote work. With its prime location, this mid century home is near Pasadena’s iconic Rose Bowl, Arroyo Seco hiking, Colorado Street Bridge, and Old Town’s shopping, restaurants, and museums. A stone’s throw away from some of the most coveted attractions Pasadena has to offer.
