The iconic "Steel and Glass House" is a masterwork Designed by acclaimed modernist architect A. Quincy Jones and is restored to its original brilliance and tailored for refined contemporary living. Privately tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home commands breathtaking panoramic views of the Rose Bowl, JPL, Brookside Golf Course, and the Pasadena skyline from nearly every room. A fluid harmony between structure and landscape defines the experience. Inside, soaring 35-foot ceilings and walls of glass bring an abundance of natural light and architectural drama. A dynamic interplay of lines and angles creates both visual interest and serene openness. The expansive main level is designed for both grand entertaining and intimate moments, centered around a luminous dining area. Multiple lounge spaces offer uninterrupted views that serve as living art. The chef's kitchen features high-end Wolf and Sub Zero appliances with meticulously restored original cabinetry. In a private wing, the stylish primary suite offers its own balcony, en-suite bath, and inspiring views. Throughout the home, glass-walled hallways, tranquil gardens, and a dramatic waterfall into an indoor koi pond add to the spiritual experience. Ideally located just minutes from Pasadena's top dining, shopping, and cultural destinations, this rare offering is more than a home, it's a piece of architectural history ready to be personalized with your art collection. There is no mansion tax in Pasadena. Curated furniture may be included.
