Home of the Week: Midcentury Modern Style in Linda Vista
This midcentury modern home by Pasadena architect Francis Lyman Ennis reflects SoCal designers’ emphasis on bringing the outside in; wide expanses of windows allow light to wash over the nearly five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence. Indeed, the 1957 home’s centerpiece is an airy living room-dining room area with a pitched-wood ceiling, fireplace, sliding glass door leading to the patio overlooking the surrounding hillside.
Every room has a stunning view, even the sunny kitchen, which has skylights and French doors leading onto a screened porch. The fabulous views don’t mean a loss of privacy, however; the home and three-car carport are hidden away at the end of a long private driveway. With a price well below the Redfin.com estimate, the home beckons modernism aficionados to take on a renovation with taste and a sense of local history.
