Mid-Century Modern house designed by architect Harold Zook in 1955. The 5-bedroom, 5-bath home in 3971 sq. ft. is currently (May 2018) on the market listed for sale for $2,698,000 and described in the listing as "an exceptional example of Mid-Century architecture with distinctive clean design, an emphasis on privacy, and insightful use of space and flow. The current owners have made updates while staying true to its original sleek, minimalist aesthetic.

The property was thoughtfully sited with a focus on the stunning backyard which looks across the pool to a panoramic view of the city below and canyon beyond. A lush, grassy landscape screened by trees wraps gracefully around the house. Raised planter beds are integrated into the pool area and an array of seating areas and patios creates a variety of spaces for outdoor eating and entertaining. Inside the front door, the view sweeps down a marble tiled passageway to a living room ending in a full wall of glass. Throughout the open plan home, expanses of glass, including large windows, transom windows and sliding glass doors blend all rooms with the surrounding landscape, creating a feeling of indoor/outdoor living.

Four bedroom suites are grouped in one private wing, with a fifth positioned on the other side of the home. Additionally there is a large paving stone motor-court and a finished three car garage with an abundance of built-in storage"

The Wynn Road cul-de-sac has been considered for Landmark District status where a cluster of homes designed by noted Pasadena architect Harold B. Zook may be found. Zook homes have been photographed by Julius Shulman, shown in modern home tours and featured in Arts & Architecture, House Beautiful and the Los Angeles Times. Zook, who began his career with Swiss-born architect Albert Frey. was one of the founding architects of Modernist Palm Springs, and established his own firm in Pasadena in 1948. In addition to his many residences, his commercial work includes the iconic 1959 Saga Motor Hotel, a Pasadena Mid-Century Landmark, whose distinctive style embodies the golden age of motel design.
