Designed as his personal residence in 1950 by noted architect and former AIA president, Roland Logan Russell, this single-level mid-century home has timeless appeal. Nestled in the coveted San Rafael neighborhood of Pasadena, Russell's original vision of simplicity and the inseparable connection between home and nature are still evident. The 2bd, 2ba home was designed with plentiful windows, an easy flow floorplan and an intentional line of vision from the front entry to the privacy of the backyard. Warm hardwood floors are interspersed with new Berber carpeting. The home is the perfect setting for game-night around the living room fireplace or lounging in the lanai. A light-filled, sensible kitchen boasts abundant cabinets/pantry space, solid surface countertops and a trio of new stainless appliances. The primary suite features dual closets with built-in organizers and large picture windows with views of the back gardens. The attached bathroom features a Neptune custom curved tub, floating vanity, and clever storage. The second bedroom has an adjacent, remodeled bathroom with oversized shower. An additional 115 square feet of bonus space off of the garage is ideal for remote work. Clerestory windows filter in light and offer privacy. The backyard is generous in size and is punctuated with pops of color, raised planter beds, flowering peach, plum and orange trees, meandering vines and multiple places to dine alfresco. Conveniently located near many of the treasures of Pasadena including the iconic Rose Bowl, hiking in the Arroyo Seco, Colorado Street Bridge and the shopping, restaurants and museums of Old Town.
