One of the most magical, and transformational properties in Los Angeles, this never before seen historic mid-century marvel is #43 on the Pasadena Registry. The Merwyn C. Gill House is more than just an architectural gem, the setting, exquisite gardens, pool, koi pond, waterfalls, and adjoining vacant property, combined, are a moving experience. The owner who is originally from Terril, Iowa, graduated from USC, and after WWII he was one of the pioneers in the plastics industry. This one-level design is perched atop a long private driveway. The structure consists of two carports, a long artistic glass walk-in entry and foyer, an open concept with formal dining, and two informal living spaces. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a service entrance, laundry, and storage room. The inspired ceiling design features translucent sandwich panels, allowing for natural light throughout. Each of the rooms is an escape looking out to the world-class landscaping and mature trees. There are surrounding decks and patio areas adjacent to every room. The graciously sized pool is located on the south-facing side of the residence. There is an outdoor dining area off the pool with a built-in BBQ, all looking out to the San Gabriel mountains beyond the Rose Bowl. Explore the many pathways, as the landscape, and the sounds of the waterfalls take you to another world. The owner's wishes are to sell both parcels together, see 1409 El Mirador Dr. The buyer should demonstrate a keen interest, and understanding in maintaining the landscaping, and diversity of plants.
