Garrett Van Pelt, F. A. I. A. , 1946. Set within a garden of oaks, roses, citrus, and a peaceful lily pond, Garrett Van Pelt's own hand built residence offers the delights, magic & mystery of living in a pastoral California setting which is nearly extinct in urban Pasadena, except perhaps in paintings hung in fine Pasadena homes by the likes of Charles Rollo Peters or Maurice Braun. This private park-like retreat, located just above the Eaton Canyon Golf Course, affords a dramatic backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains, as well as views out to the City. The main residence includes: Living room, formal dining room, enclosed breezeway, kitchen, laundry, 2 bedrooms & 2 baths. The gated property also includes a guest house with bath and additional workshop/studio.
