The Harry O Diamond Residence; John Matthias, Designer, 1955. Located on a gated 19,000+ SF lot in the exclusive Linda Vista neighborhood, this 4 bedroom 2.5 bath Mid Century Modern home was published twice in Sunset Magazine, first for its flexible floorplan centered around an atrium, and later for its historic grounds, which were originally part of Pasadena's Great Oaks estate and provide unparalleled privacy. The spacious living room features high beamed ceilings, a fireplace, and walls of glass overlooking both the atrium and mature gardens surrounding a series of terraces that lead to the swimming pool. The updated kitchen includes stone counters, top-of-the-line appliances, a pantry and large island with breakfast bar overlooking the family room. There are 3 bedrooms downstairs, 2 of which are large and have ample walk-in-closets, and an additional large bedroom upstairs with walk-in-closet, full bath and balcony overlooking the atrium. THIS is quintessential California living!
