The Van de Kamp Estate, 1951 - W. Bourne Architect -- Located in Chapman Woods, Pasadena's favorite eastside neighborhood, this vintage modernist estate offers provenance, stature and huge upside potential. With extensive use of steel sash glazing by Arcadia Door Co. , the inside/outside threshold is worked to dramatic effect; a place where both public and private spaces unite with expansive grounds and sparkling swimming pool. Ready to update for another era of modern living.

It grew from a tiny potato-chip store on South Spring Street into a vast 1,200-em
