Abstract: A beautifully preserved mid-century modern home in Altadena, California, has entered the market for the first time.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom property was listed for $2.25 million.

 

After 13 days on the market, this original time capsule appears to have found a buyer and is waiting to be sold.

 

The new owners will be the second family ever to enjoy this beautiful home.

 

It is in very authentic condition, this beautiful 2,753 square foot building retains many original details. No major renovations or repairs have been made to the building.

 

Architect Boyd Georgi designed the home for the seller's family in 1960.

 

"It's an opportunity for someone," Rosten says, "to basically go back in time and make the house their own." It starts with the architecture, which is pure and untouched."

 

She notes the built-in furniture and other original touches, including the charming olive and yellow wallpaper.

 

The house sits on more than 2 acres - a rarity in the area - which has attracted the interest of many potential buyers with different priorities.

 

"I've been contacted by many people in the architecture and design community," Rosten says." I also show it to people who are really just looking for a big piece of land. I knew the family, in a perfect world, would love a buyer who could keep the house. It's their first choice."

 

The home's design centers on a courtyard with many windows, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.

 

"It has glass walls on multiple sides; you can see greenery from every window," she says." Because of its location, you feel like you're floating. It's very private."

 

The property has a fairly large master bedroom, but the three secondary bedrooms are modest in size for a very interesting reason. The owners value outdoor activities for their children and don't want them to hide indoors, Rosten explains

 

The terrace and free-form pool make the most of the spacious lot, but there's room for more.

 

"One person came by and said they had always wanted to make their own wine and plant their own vineyard," Rosten says.

 

While the architectural design is intact, she says the new owners may do some remodeling.

 

"Stepping into a home like this is almost like stepping back in time, which makes sense to people because it's fun. It's different. It's unique," Rosten said.
