Situated on a spectacular hillside overlooking Pasadena and the San Gabriel mountains, 775 Panorama is an address that hints at its incredible sweeping vistas and wide panoramas. Hidden behind a simple facade and a front entry gate is a Japanese inspired garden with lush plantings and a meandering fountain with a bridge crossing to the glass front door. A hybrid of both Mid-Century and contemporary Japanese architecture, the home has a clean and minimalistic design. The living room, surrounded by walls of glass and sliding doors is encircled with incredible views on one side and the intimate Japanese garden on the other. A beautiful paneled wood wall is punctuated by a sleek marble fireplace with a dramatic hearth. The dining area is attached to the living room with sliding doors leading to the outdoors and views below. The streamlined kitchen features contemporary flat panel cabinetry and black granite countertops with two sinks, a cooktop, two ovens and a center island with a built-in microwave and a warming drawer. Just off of the kitchen is a wood paneled library with handsome built-in bookshelves centered on a fireplace with a striking green marble surround. Sliding glass doors lead out to a deck large enough for outdoor dining. Stairs lead down to the lower level of the property where there is a large pool and a cantilevered deck seeming to float above the Rose Bowl. (Imagine the 4th of July party!) On one wing of the house rests the primary suite and an additional bedroom and bathroom. The large primary suite enjoys a full bathroom, fireplace, a large walk-in closet and sliding doors out to a dramatic deck for beautiful morning sunrise views. A third bedroom and three quarter bath is located on the opposite wing. This property, built in 1964, has been beautifully maintained by the current owner for 27 years.
