Check Out Beck's Perfect Mid-Century Modern Home In Pasadena

Of course it's on the National Register of Historic Places. It has to be.

PASADENA, CA — I don't know if this house is staged (even the toys are vintage), I just know it's perfect.

Los Angeles County is riddled with real estate listings claiming to be architectural masterpieces, but this 1957 Buff, Straub and Hensman Mid-Century-Modern, is the real deal. Built in 1957 for the Frank Family (of Lawry's Foods) and owned by Beck, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's the quintessential SoCal Mid-Century Modern with post and beams and seamless indoor/outdoor flow.

The glass walled living room opens to decks overlooking the pool and views over the Arroyo of the San Gabriel Mountains. Situated behind a private gate, it boasts four-and-a-half bathrooms and five bedrooms that open onto decks and patios.
