All Hail The California Ranch House

PASADENA, CA — Yes, anything with the word 'modern' in it is king in LA these days, but the California Ranch is more than just an architectural style. It's an ethos.

It's a martini by the pool and a jungle gym on the lawn. It's a kitchen where mom can see everything and everyone from her perch at the table. It's the California dream when everyone was California dreaming.

And this 1956 Pasadena gem holds every bit of the California Ranch promise. Low slung and wrapped around an expansive backyard built for entertaining, this home offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms. It boasts an oversized fireplace, a library and formal dining room with views of the backyard through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
