There is a 31 day, monthly minimum stay @ this Property........
This Beautiful 1952 Mid Century Modern Home, is located on the hillside in the Pasadena Rose Bowl area called Linda Vista. This Specific location is key. Sitting on 2 acres plus of Wild Landscape; it is completely surrounded by nature and is unique in the privacy and serenity 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; The Master Bedroom has a California King Organic Mattress and an on-suite Bathroom with Bathtub & Shower. The Second Bedroom has a Queen Sized Organic Mattress and on suite Bathroom with Shower. Both Bathrooms have been renovated with Mosaic Tiles & Designer Philippe Starck wall hung toilets and vanities.. A Lovely renovated all white European Modern Kitchen. A well stocked kitchen makes staying at home for a meal delightful and cozy. 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 includes seating; both sitting ang lounging, and a small Drink Refrigerator. A respite from the sun. There are two decks that are perched out over the canyon below. The Upper covered balcony includes a double mattress for lounging and is a great spot to stargaze at night or sit with your morning coffee/ Breakfast and watch the wildlife on the hillside. There is an original gas fireplace in the living room for cozy nights and floor to ceiling glass panel Windows that make up half the room. A Beautiful 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. 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 Natures'Beauty which surrounds both outdoors as well as from inside this home. A zen base from where to regain your senses.

About the host

Hosted by Traci Vaccaro

Host profile image
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 they chose this property

I have lived in Pasadena for the last 41 years 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.

What makes this property unique

Privacy. Tranquility. Rest. Relaxation.Balance.
Surrounded by Nature.
