Property Description
Welcome to the Konishi House: A Mid-Century Hillside Retreat
Nestled in the highly sought-after Linda Vista neighborhood, the Konishi House is a true architectural gem that combines mid-century modern design with cutting-edge luxury. Originally owned by Masakazu (Mark) Konishi, the renowned Japanese neurobiologist at Caltech, this exceptional property offers an unparalleled living experience and ultimate privacy.
With three spacious bedrooms, three luxurious bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage, this exceptional home boasts an abundance of natural light, creating an airy, open atmosphere. The property is thoughtfully designed to embrace its surroundings, with sweeping views of the iconic Rose Bowl and the San Gabriel Mountains.
The residence has been meticulously updated, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Its improvements also include new fire-resitant 'Shou Sugi Ban' exterior siding as well as fire-resistant eaves and soffit material. A state-of-the-art Sonos surround sound system has also been installed throughout to enhance your living experience.
Inside, White European Oak flooring and Walnut cabinetry create an elegant, cohesive aesthetic, complemented by Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances in the gourmet kitchen. The living room features an in-floor TV lift and floor-to-ceiling fireplace, while dual-glazed 'multi-slide' doors and windows throughout the home invite the beauty of the outdoors inside.
Step outside to discover a heated Cedar soaking tub on the private wraparound deck—a perfect spot for zen relaxation while enjoying the breathtaking views. The bathrooms have been entirely reimagined with new tiles, cabinetry, and fixtures, offering a spa-like ambiance.
The Konishi House is not just a home—it's a legacy, a place to unwind, and a sanctuary that blends nature and architecture. Don't miss your chance to own this rare and extraordinary piece of property in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods.
