Tucked amid the treetops of Lacy Estates, this iconic 1953 Mid-century Modern home, designed by acclaimed architect Whitney R. Smith, AIA, is a masterclass in streamlined, organic shapes and indoor/outdoor integration. Situated on nearly an acre, the private, gated compound offers an enchanting escape with walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, framing a sweeping panorama toward the San Gabriel mountains. The private retreat boasts 3,768 square feet of refined living space, including 4 bedrooms, an office, and 4 baths. The dramatic living room with a 14 foot high ceiling features access to a wraparound wood deck, brick fireplace and an elegant wet bar ideal for crafting the perfect martini. The gourmet kitchen is a modernist's dream, updated with high-end stainless steel appliances and treetop vistas, while the adjacent light-filled breakfast area showcases the front courtyard. Practicality is discreetly handled with a separate laundry area off the kitchen, featuring ample counter space and a sink. The fourth bedroom and bathroom, ideal for guests, is adjacent to the laundry area. The main living area is separated from the private bedrooms by a glass-enclosed hallway - a cinematic bridge rising over a flowing babbling brook and stone-encased pond. The primary suite features a generous 300 sq ft walk-in closet and an ensuite full bathroom bathed in natural light from the geometric skylights above. There are two adjacent bedrooms and baths plus a private cozy office. Outside, the lush, spectacular landscaping features mature oak trees, expansive decks for entertaining, and a unique hexagon-shaped pool and spa. A brick walkway, shaded by mature vines, leads to the front door, while a unique, impressive light fixture--a gift to the former owner from Chiang Kai-Shek--adorns a front yard oak. Gated, with up to 12 parking spaces and a two-car garage with an additional bonus room and 3/4 bath, this iconic, private sanctuary feels worlds away, yet is minutes from Pasadena and Los Angeles. Filled with clean lines and stream-lined organic shapes, this tailored, elegant, modernist home is aspirational living defined.
