500 California in Pasadena California is a 4 bedroom 4 bath home with 3584 SqFt.

This home has been described as, A New Form of Modernism in the Arroyo Seco. There is no mistaking the modernist aesthetic at work in the particularly well-wrought renovation of this contemporary home. The current owners have created a richly structured foundation where contemporary art, photography, modern furnishings and antiques blend seamlessly with the surrounding architecture. There is a clear point of view at work here, at once timeless and bleeding edge -- the sort of dichotomy that signals a new modernism. The warmth of wood and natural stone are contrasted against clean plastered walls, and rich ebonized hardwood flooring. Natural light streams though generous windows and French doors that lead to gracious terraces, decks, and arbor-covered retreats. The expansive wooded lot features mature trees and a truly private setting. Perhaps the ideal Pasadena residence for the well-healed and discerning buyer. You can have it all!
