Nestled beneath Mt. Wilson, this majestic mid-century masterpiece is situated over an acre in an astounding secluded setting that erases the boundary between your living space and the beautiful outdoors. The three-level design by local architect Harlan H. Pedersen, a long-time Sierra Madre resident, captures the best of both contemporary details and Mad Men era indulgences. Modern updates include a sleek kitchen with custom cabinetry, generous built-in storage, and quartz countertops, as well as a primary bedroom with sunken stone-lined tub, and shower with a luxurious steam unit. Pamper your visitors with their own private entrance to the downstairs guest unit, and allow them to enjoy the custom infinity pool/ spa/ grotto with 11 waterfalls all handcrafted from natural three river stone imported from Idaho, the installation affords its own expansive views of the mountains as well as the city lights far below. Magical. Attention to detail is apparent throughout, from the architecture itself to the vibrant lighting cast from the original Cuatro Lunas globe pendants. The dramatic great room soars with floor-to-ceiling glass and post and beam vaulted ceilings that emphasize breathtaking views, with a gas line-equipped fireplace that sets the mood for sophisticated relaxation. Admire the majestic, unobstructed mountain views while listening to the trickle of waterfalls from the hillside above the infinity pool. Simply walk out onto the front balcony to take in the stunning nighttime views of the city below or from the private balcony from the primary bedroom to savor a true retreat-like experience.
