180 Taos Rd, Altadena, CA 91001

Property Description

Nestled in the tranquil foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and for sale for the first time ever, this Mid-Century Modern retreat, sited on a sprawling 2.66-acre lot, was custom designed by renowned AIA architect Boyd Georgi in 1969. The four-bedroom home (2,753 square feet per public record), featuring an abundance of original details, centers around a spacious courtyard providing dramatic visual transparency. The stellar architecture with walls of glass and clerestory windows seamlessly integrates indoors and out while showcasing city lights and mountain views. The interior and exterior walls are made of stucco continuing the connective flow from home to nature. The house, free form pool and viewing deck fit harmoniously and organically into the landscape, clearly the intent of the design. The serene property is well located in the Altadena foothills, first up a private road and then up a long, gated driveway. The grounds are rich with possibility with much of the lot being flat and usable, a rarity for the area. Offering tremendous potential to transform, repurpose or reimagine, this is a unique opportunity to purchase a one-of-a-kind legacy estate!
