Home of the Day: ‘80s contemporary with a view in Pasadena
Built on about an acre of land once owned by the Armour ironworks family, this 1980s contemporary takes in wide views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the Colorado Street Bridge and surrounding treetops. Designed by a commercial architect, the two-level floor plan features a skylight-topped foyer that opens to a sunken living room and adjacent wet bar. A catwalk balcony and spiral staircase lend an industrial quality to the home.
