Marketing for 420 Lakeview Road Pasadena:
Discover a stunning mid-century post-and-beam home in Pasadena’s desirable San Rafael neighborhood. Privately nestled on ⅔ acres behind stone walls and a gated entry, this gem shines. Designed in 1960 by noted architect and USC School of Architecture graduate Hideo Matsunaga, it captivates. First, notice how Matsunaga skillfully weaves Japanese country home elements into the design. Sliding glass walls, vaulted wood ceilings, and an extensive wrap-around veranda impress. Thoughtfully restored and updated over the years, the home retains its original integrity. Consequently, it blends classic Japanese architecture with modern conveniences seamlessly.
At the core, an open living and dining space anchors the home. A large brick fireplace and treetop views of a sprawling mature oak tree enchant. Next, explore the newly updated kitchen. Custom wood cabinetry and a large eat-in island gleam. The kitchen flows into a family room, butler’s pantry, and built-in bar. Meanwhile, a private bedroom wing on the first level beckons. It houses two bedrooms, two baths, and the primary suite. The suite boasts two walk-in closets and an updated bath with a standalone tub and large glass shower. Then, descend a spiral staircase to a fourth bedroom suite and den. There, a built-in desk, media cabinet, and wet bar await.
