Tucked into one of the most sought-after enclaves of Linda Vista, this Pasadena Modern Home is a striking example of the timeless architectural vision of Buff and Hensman. Known for their sculptural use of wood, dramatic volumes and harmony with nature, Buff and Hensman designed this residence to celebrate light, landscape and the enduring spirit of California modernism.
A lush interior atrium welcomes guests with vibrant greenery and a tranquil fountain, setting a serene tone from the moment of arrival. The living room unfolds beneath soaring vaulted ceilings anchored by a dramatic fireplace, while expansive two-story windows frame the surrounding landscape and bathe the interiors in natural light.
The spacious kitchen offers generous storage and effortless access to the backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A refined library with floor to ceiling bookshelves provides a quiet retreat and overlooks the private front garden, reflecting the thoughtful design sensibility that defines a Pasadena Modern Home.
Five en-suite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy throughout the residence. The primary suite features a private balcony that looks out across a canopy of mature oak trees. Upstairs, a lofted lounge area offers open flexible space, while the lower level bedrooms provide ideal separation including a guest suite with its own entrance and sitting room.
The terraced backyard is a rare natural sanctuary, layered with lush greenery that evokes the feeling of a private national park. At the top of the property, sweeping vistas reveal the San Gabriel Mountains and the city below. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac near the Rose Bowl, JPL and Old Pasadena, this Buff and Hensman residence remains one of Pasadena’s most treasured architectural secrets.
