Ciara Corrigan • December 12, 2024

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Pasadena’s Linda Vista neighborhood, 1395 El Mirador Drive is a rare architectural treasure designed by celebrated mid-century modernist James Pulliam, FAIA. 

Known for shaping Southern California’s modernist aesthetic, Pulliam collaborated with icons like Richard Neutra before establishing his own acclaimed practice. This home is a testament to his passion for merging functional design with natural beauty.

From the moment you enter, an unassuming foyer transitions to a bright living room featuring vaulted, beamed ceilings and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass. Within the living room, one can enjoy captivating views of the sprawling backyard, creating seamless indoors, outdoors living.

Set on an over 17,000 square foot flat lot, the property is enveloped by lush landscaping, tall hedges, and swaying palms, offering privacy and peace of mind. Multiple patios and outdoor spaces provide idyllic settings for quiet relaxation. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years, the home retains its timeless charm while offering modern conveniences. Every detail of the property reflects a dedication to preserving Pulliam’s original vision. 

Represented by Sophia Kelley, Andy Hairabedian and Lilian Hairabedian of The Agency and priced at $3,399,000, this mid-century masterpiece offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in one of Pasadena’s most coveted neighborhoods.
