Keywords: Mid-Century Modern Home Here's the latest Review Five Stars,"Secluded Luxury" , August 8, 2011By Elmer Marx (Juneau, Alaska USA) Our family of four stayed in this beautiful home for a week of R and R. Although it is located less than five minutes from Old Town Pasadena, the house has an isolated feel. There are no close neighbors within view. Our two children loved the pool and enjoyed the trails and wildlife on the property. We spotted a mother and baby dear, a falcon, and numerous rabbits from the upper sleeping balcony. The home is tastefully and artistically decorated and has a wonderful, open floor plan with plenty of light and warmth. We would certainly return to this delightful home. The house is located close to Hollywood, Universal Studios, the LA Zoo, Eaton Canyon and other attractions. Old Town Pasadena has great shopping, theaters and dining. We enjoyed the Gold Class Cinema where we were served dinner with the movie. We recommend this house to al
This Beautiful 1952 mid-century modern home, is located on the hillside in the Pasadena Rose Bowl area. The location is key. It is completely surrounded by nature and is unique in the privacy that it provides.
An Artist's Retreat; This is a rare gem of a home and truly provides a sense of peace and well being as you would find in worldwide retreats. It is a zen hideaway all your own to discover. It has two bedrooms and two newly renovated bathrooms and kitchen. The main floor overlooks and surrounds the original pool, which takes center stage, especially @ night when the turquoise blue glows and lights up the back yard. There is a cozy cabana off the poolside, which has three twin beds. There are two decks that are perched out over the canyon below. One covered balcony has a double bed. There is an original gas fireplace in the living room for cozy nights and floor to ceiling glass panel that make up half the room. Vienna wood floor and original Terrazzo Flooring throughout. This one must be viewed in person to receive the full effect. Sit on the balcony soaking up the sun, take a swim at your private modern tree-house. Do yoga or meditate in the quiet and serenity of the natural surroundings. Regain a sense of yourself and bask in the beauty of your private retreat.
This home is nestled within a private canyon in the Rose Bowl area of Pasadena, California. A short five minute drive from Old Town Pasadena for dining, shopping, movies, museums and groceries. It is a great base for exploring nearby Los Angeles and just far away enough to get lost in the serenity of the natural landscape that surrounds this beautiful zen Hideaway. The house is designed around a refreshing vintage pool. Beds are situated on the covered balconies to sleep under the stars and be one with nature as if in a modern tree-house. Due to the traquility of nature set in a wonderfully private neighborhood that surrounds together with respect for the neighbors there are to be no parties at this home. This home is for those who come to soak in the beauty which surrounds both outdoors as well as from inside this home. A zen base from where to regain your senses.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
Hello... Thank you for your interest in my private retreat for your stay in the Los Angeles Area.
After traveling the globe for 25 years, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the world's Best. From Castles to farm homes to thatched huts to a tent in the Sahara and this is the spot that has stopped me in my tracks of traveling. A place to reflect, regain your senses and relax. This home is for those who have an appreciation for Mid-Century Modern Architecture, Art, Nature and Lifestyle. I offer this home as an exclusive stay in an Artist's Home.
Why the Owner Chose Pasadena
I am originally from Long Island, N.Y. I have lived in Pasadena for the last 25 as my homebase while traveling. It was originally attending nearby Art Center College of Design, which brought me to Pasadena and I have stayed in the area ever since graduating. My background is in Film, Photography, Interior & Garden Design. I feel that Pasadena is a World Class City, offering Culture and The Arts. The Norton Simon Museum, The Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens, The Rose bowl Stadium and National New Years Day Parade to name a few of my favorites. It has an east coast feeling as you drive through the tree lined streets. However as you look out from the home into the distance you are transported and you could be anywhere in the world.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Tranquility. Rest. Relaxation. Privacy. Balance.

My wife, two sons and I stayed at this beautiful home for a week long vacation. Being from Alaska, we desired a location that permitted us to enjoy the local to attractions (dining, parks, shopping, and trails) during the day but that would allow us to escape the crowds during the evening. This custom home exceeded our expectations and was as memorable as our daily excursions. The home has a centrally located swimming pool, numerous outdoor terraces that offer both sunshine and shade throughout the day, and an unobstructed view of the valley below. We spent much time at the bungalow near the pool and walking the numerous footpaths around the property. One of the trails, leads to a circular, suspended bed near the bottom of the valley. We observed a surprisingly large amount of wildlife including a mother deer and her fawn. There are two bedrooms inside the home as well as four additional beds outside which were particularly popular with the boys. The house's open floor plan and beautiful furnishings provided a great vacation atmosphere. The shopping and entertainment district of Old Pasadena is a short five minute drive from the home and the Rose Bowl is within walking distance. Parking for two cars is available. Air flow through the house was great so we rarely required using the air conditioning. The kitchen is well equipped and the appliances appeared to be new. This home is great for small families and couples looking for a romantic hideaway. Thanks for everything, Traci. We had a great time.

Traci's home was the highlight of our family vacation. It is open, gentle and peaceful. The solitude it provides while being so close of a drive to an array of places including your choice of grocery store: Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Ralphs... the near by shopping district in Old Towne Pasadena, The Aroboretum, the neighboring town of Eagle Rock and it's mom and pop Pizza and Pastry Shops....even if you plan on doing a main attraction, the beaches and Disney aren't too far a travel. All of the nearby's aside, my family and I agree that next time, we'll scrap the tourist and town ventures for more time at the house. We all caught ourselves mesmerized daily at numerous views of nature and hills, deer and lots of squirrels. The vast distance of undeveloped land alone with suck you into a pleasant trance...There are so many areas to congregate or escape, all throughout the house and the property. The pool was refreshing by day an atmospheric glowing sight by night. It was the best choice after searching many homes for the perfect place to host my East Coast Family's visit to my new home in California. Thank you Traci.
Owner response:Thank you, Chris. I am so pleased to share this special place with those who genuinely enjoy the serenity it provides. I look forward to seeing your family back again for another chapter of memories. Peace,Love & Light, Traci

An Amazing Location!

“Location, location, location” – you know the mantra. Well, that’s the only place to start with this property. Traci’s house perches out over a wild, beautiful, wholly unspoiled canyon, possessing marvelously dense vegetation and an astonishing amount of wildlife. I saw a pack of five coyotes hunting; I saw dozens of deer, prancing through the outback; and there is enough birdlife for a full season of a PBS nature show. I’d find myself staring out into the canyon, mesmerized by the beauty of its flora and the vitality of its fauna, and indeed there are trails cut which allow you to wander through it yourself. From inside the house, you can see no other -- at least none nearby. Peaceful. Genuinely tranquil. All this is extraordinary enough, but here’s the kicker: you can be in the heart of Old Town Pasadena in five minutes. And I really do mean five! I lived in Pasadena for years and had no idea this kind of property existed in the Linda Vista neighborhood -- combining natural beauty, peace and quiet, and solitude with blissful convenience. Should you have to get downtown or to the West Side, both the 110 and the 134 Freeways are close at hand. The house also has brand-new bathrooms and a new kitchen, which is well-equipped for actual cooking (except for the puzzling absence of a microwave). The pictures on vrbo are reasonably accurate and the house was clean. The owner was responsive and went out of her way to accommodate our request to stay a few additional days. Like every vrbo property -- like every property, yours and mine included -- this one is not perfect. For instance, there’s no door on the master bedroom’s bathroom and the pool needs re-surfacing. However, it seems ungrateful to dwell on these imperfections. I have stayed in 15-20 vrbo properties in Europe and on both coasts of the U.S. and this is one of the nicest. For me, there is one acid test: would I go back? Indeed I would.

We stayed at this house 12/30/2010 for 5 nights. Thoroughly enjoyed the house and surrounding landscape. We were in town for the Rose Bowl and couldn't have chosen a more convenient location to downtown Pasadena. The owner was a most gracious host. Much better than any hotel accomodations!

Pasadena Zen Hideaway

We very much enjoyed our 4 nights in the fall of 2010. Comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms, gracious host. We loved the indoor/outdoor feeling of the space and kept finding ourselves on the outdoor futon, enjoying the light and the view, talking quietly, cuddled under the furry throw when the night cooled down but we still couldn't bear to go inside. I highly recommend this house.

Zen stay in a zen house

This house in Pasadena is really great. The atmosphere is totally remote and it offers great hill views. A great escape from busy LA. The house has a very personal decoration, very zen. Bohémien chic as they say in French. Some details are very nice, as the ceramic coffee mugs! And I personally like the idea of being surrounded by books (on f.e. Georgia O'Keeffe, Greene & Greene, ...) and magazines. It gives the place a personal character. The lemon tree (full of beautiful blue birds) in front of the kitchen window is lovely. Swimming in april was very cold in the pool that is not heated but at least you're sure of fresh dip! A place I would recommend. Also for people with young children.

Our family of 6 recently returned from a CA vacation, part of which was spent at this very comfortable and conveniently located property. In fact, the location couldn't have been better, offering privacy and a unique experience. It was not far to Old Town Pasadena, and allowed easy access to expressways. The view is fabulous and those of us that slept outside found it to be extremely enjoyable! The owner was most gracious and wonderful to work with, even leaving a bottle of wine to ring in the New Year while sitting in front of the cozy fireplace.

My wife and I stayed in this house for 10 days. If one is looking for a charming, comfortable, well furnished and decorated artist hide out with magnificent views, a pool and canyon wild life (to watch beautiful deers right under the terraces was one of the highlights of our stay …), this is it! And last but not least, the owner is very friendly. We’ll come again…Thank you very much for sharing your house
