About this single-family home
Hidden in Pasadena's verdant San Rafael Hills, 1570 Poppy Peak Dr is a Modernist treasure designed by renowned architect Robert Cox as his personal residence. A true sanctuary, this 1937 landmark home in the Poppy Peak Historic District offers rare privacy, unparalleled serenity, and immense soul. Evocative of a ryokan in the picturesque Japanese countryside, a towering bamboo forest obscures the house from the street and a lush pathway leads to the front entry. The home's warm and inviting living spaces are perfectly designed for entertaining and feature fantastic indoor-outdoor flow along with stunning views from numerous glass sliders and floor to ceiling windows. In the stunning library, light pours in through a large skylight overhead and glass doors that open to the beautifully landscaped backyard, where multi-level terraces provide ample room for lounging or hosting amidst exquisite natural beauty. Pick vegetables from the garden, then prepare them in the updated kitchen with striking concrete countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and professional grade appliances. Inspiring mountain vistas and lush greenery greet you every morning from huge windows in the primary suite. Outside, a studio and garage with ADU-approval offer endless possibilities. Here, in your hillside sanctuary, you're fully immersed in transcendent natural and architectural beauty while being a short drive from Old Town Pasadena, DTLA, Eagle Rock, and the best of city living!
