Stunning midcentury modern by John F. Galbraith lists in Pasadena

With the San Gabriel Mountains as its backdrop, this stunning mid-century modern sits on almost a full acre in Pasadena’s small gated community of North Kinneloa Ranch with an enormous swimmer’s pool and breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views.

Designed by architect John F. Galbraith, “a Pasadena-based architect who designed a number of institutional, commercial, and residential buildings,” the circa 1956 home underwent a masterful restoration.

Inside, the three-bedroom home extends 3,272 square feet on a single level. A formal entry foyer with a stone floor leads to the living and dining room with polished concrete floors and internal and exterior walls clad in vertical redwood planks. Floor-to-ceiling two-sided fireplace with double floating hearths is positioned in the middle of the open space. Glass walls blur the indoor/outdoor lines. They frame the patio, yard, swimmer’s pool, and sweeping city, mountain, and sunset views.

The updated kitchen includes stainless appliances, new countertops, lighting, a breakfast bar, revived original mahogany cabinetry, and a restored custom hood.

Bedrooms consist of a primary bedroom with a fireplace and newly redesigned bath plus two guest bedrooms and den. All the rooms have views of the outdoors.

Last sold in 2020 for $2,189,000, the home located at 2105 Villa Heights Road returns to the market asking $3.397 million and comes with a detached bonus space that could be an artist’s studio or office and an oversized two-car garage.

El Tigre and Book of Life creatives put their spacious Burbank condo on the market

Image
In 2004, Jorge Gutiérrez and Sandra Equihua, the creative husband and wife team behind the multiple Emmy Award-winning animated television series El Tigre, The Adventures of Manny Rivera, and the Book of Life, moved from Culver City to live in their first home, a spacious condo in Burbank. Built on a street with a backdrop of mountains, their spacious single-level condo strikes the perfect balance between a quiet home life and enjoying the energy of a vibrant city. It’s also near the most recognized media companies in the world, including Warner Bros., The Walt Disney Company, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon. As their home hits the market, Jorge and Sandra reflect on living close to work and raising their son, Luca. Jorge: “We were renting in Culver City. We lived a block away from Sony. We always liked to walk to work. We started working at Disney, and the commute killed us. Then we found this place online.” Sandra: “Our main focus was that it was close as possible ...

Stylish Silver Lake Bungalow on historic stair street

Image
Loma Vista Place is one of Silver Lake ’s hidden treasures. It’s a historic stair street dating back to the early 1900s when LA was “well-served by trolleys, streetcars, buses, and light-rail systems.”  Lined with bungalows of a bygone era, the street crosses Glendale Blvd to Allesandro Way, offering residents an enchanting hidden enclave in the city. In 2018 Rachel Hollcraft, an event producer/designer for Hollywood after parties, and Sam Brandl, who works in television, purchased a two-story bungalow sited one flight up from Allesandro Way. The couple shares their life on this historic street as their home hits the market. Loma Vista Place is one of the stair streets featured in the book “Stairway Walks in Los Angeles.” While traversing this street, co-author Larry Gordan says, “The further I got into it, it was like, ‘Look at this place!’ It’s among the most isolated–and, in its own way, very romantic.” Like Gordan, Rachel and Sam felt the same energy. Rachel: “I...

Stunning new TIC community in Echo Park

Image
Illuminated by natural light streaming in through the large original windows, this home— one of four in a new TIC community located in Echo Park —was reimagined with a reverence for historic preservation and a nod to modern living. As this stunning residence hits the market, Elan Mordoch, owner and real estate developer, reflects on his personal “shift” during the Covid lockdown and how it renewed his perspective and appreciation for the heritage building stock in Los Angeles. Pre Covid, Elan only focused on new, from the ground up, projects, including a 12-unit condominium in Studio City, a small lot development in Los Feliz , and a mixed-use project in Hollywood. But when Covid hit, things changed. Elan: “It was the first time I stopped and shut down my daily grind and stopped the hamster wheel of constantly going, going, and going. I slowed down as we all did. I retreated into the things that are meaningful to me, like playing piano and meditating, and taking the time t...
