Buff & Hensman’s Dunn Residence. Solidity, size and strength typical of the later work of Buff & Hensman are on full display in this amazingly original home - beautifully sited on a small cul-de-sac shared by two other architecturally notable properties. The double entry doors, flanked by custom stained glass lead you to the foyer and public spaces - with soaring stained redwood ceilings and original buff colored Saltillo tiles. An expansive step-down living room with soft-hued cork floors, mitered corner windows and iconic custom cabinetry are all warmed by a central fireplace. The adjacent dining room features a view framing a glorious California Oak and the San Gabriel Mountains beyond. The kitchen and generous breakfast room feature original millwork. Access to the private yard with pool and spa is plentiful, as you’d expect. There are four bedrooms including a generous master suite with vaulted ceilings anchored by a fireplace with adjacent seating area. Three additional bedrooms make up the eastern wing. Storage is plentiful throughout, including a large, three-car garage. Vintage, late 70’s organic mid-century architecture in a premiere Southwest Pasadena location.
