Bourne Architect -- Located in Chapman Woods, Pasadena's favorite eastside neighborhood, this vintage modernist estate offers provenance, stature and huge upside potential.

It grew from a tiny potato-chip store on South Spring Street into a vast 1,200-employee west coast network of bakeries, coffee shops, and a specialty food products company known as Lawry's. Their empire included the very popular Tam O'Shanter Inn and Lawry's Prime Rib in Beverly
