Originally built in 1949 by architect Robert F. Gordon, and later updated by Tim Andersen (1975) and Fung and Blatt (2004), this residence melds modern living in a spectacular park-like setting.

Located down a private drive in Altadena, this 1,844 square foot modernist masterpiece has continued to evolved, while keeping Gordon’s early vision of integrating the building’s structure with the natural site. Tim Andersen added the new entry and living space, expanding the home’s entertaining possibilities.

And later, Fung and Blatt converted the now poolside horse stables into an ideal contemporary writers retreat, or guest bedroom and bath, winning A.I.A. Award recognition.

The home features a generous, open plan living space, all set within the acre plus gardens.

There are beautiful floor to ceiling windows throughout.

The residence also features central heat and air, tile floors, a wood burning fireplace in the family room and mountain views.

The outdoor space includes great patio areas, grassy yard, lush foliage, and even a native plant garden.

Large, park-like lawns for play and relaxing.

In 1962, the owners consulted with Theodore Payne of The Theodore Payne Foundation (a non-profit organization that promotes the preservation of California native plants) to reserved one of the two lots as a native plant garden.

The beautiful pool and separate pool house puts the finish touch on this dream home!
