What's around 820 Burleigh Dr

About this property

A Southwest Pasadena masterwork of Post & Beam Modernism, designed by Buff, Straub & Hensman, FAIA - nestled from view within a cluster of trees and uniquely sited to take advantage of the natural 'small suburban stream' that gently meanders through the property.Originally built in 1954, the architectural triumph is achieved through the simplicity of its rectangular programmatic design and restrained compilation of concrete, douglas fir and walls of glass. Extensive balconies, terracing, bridges and staircases connect one to the many layers of the pastoral outdoors - including entertaining decks, patios, vegetable beds, pathways, cascading ponds and conversational firepit.Center mounted front door vestibule allows one to seamlessly access both the public and private spaces of the residence. The living room features cork flooring, a low-slung built-in bench with adjacent seating, anchored by a wide-hearth rough concrete block fireplace that separates the living room from the remodeled kitchen featuring new cabinets, quartz countertops, floors and Miele appliances - all while preserving the original tile backsplash. Abundant storage is cleverly disguised as a pony wall that separates the kitchen from the primary corridor.Spacious primary bedroom, with separate adjacent office, direct patio access and added bathroom with single-piece concrete sink and countertop. Two additional bedrooms on the upper level, as well as a Jack and Jill bathroom 'garden' featured in a 1958 issue of Sunset Magazine with a flanking sink/lavatory, separated by a tiled sunken bath and shower - all overlooking a small Japanese garden.The lower level was developed and expanded to include bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, utilities and storage. Carport conveniently and discreetly positioned street side.See features document for upgraded systems. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has Mills Act status.
