A midcentury Pasadena home built on the former site of the storied Sierra Madre Villa is on the market for $4.3 million.

Mature oak trees surround the 3,877-square-foot wood-and-glass house, which features three bedrooms, four bathrooms and glass walls for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Records show the property has been in the same family since April 1983, when it sold for $410,000.

The owners have maintained the home, which local architect John Galbraith designed on this nearly 4-acre lot in 1953.

To maintain the integrity of the design, Galbraith also supervised an office remodel in 1993 and a kitchen renovation in 2002.The living room has a brick fireplace and a raised hearth. A skylight in the vaulted ceiling, through which the fireplace rises and disappears, illuminates the stacked brick surround.

The dining room leads to the airy kitchen, which holds a peninsula island, stainless steel appliances and mountain views from the panoramic picture window above the kitchen sink. From there, the kitchen flows into the family room.

Glass doors open to the backyard terrace, which features a pool. A deck with built-in beach seating overlooks the rustic canyon.

The primary suite and secondary bedrooms also boast views.

Teresa Piasky of Coldwell Banker Realty has the listing.

Located in The Point, a gated community of just seven homes, this property was once part of Rancho Santa Anita land on which the now-defunct Sierra Madre Villa operated.

The artist William Cogwell, whose Abraham Lincoln portrait is in the White House Collection, built the Villa in 1875 as reported in his Los Angeles Herald obituary in 1903. A trade card from 1885 described it as “a first-class hotel … furnished with gas in every room, hot and cold water” and having a twice-daily carriage run to the depot and post office.

With its sweeping views, the hotel drew VIP guests like President Ulysses S. Grant and his family, wrote longtime resident Phil Finlay in a 1965 letter detailing the area’s history.
