"Designed by father-and-son duo Kemper Nomland and Kemper Nomland Jr., the horizontal home parallels the sloped lot upon which it sits. Slanted ceilings and walls of glass highlight the post-and-beam architecture. An open floor plan lined with hardwood connects the airy living spaces, while a large brick fireplace splits the living room and the dining area."
"Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home is one of 36 "Case Study Houses" commissioned by Los Angeles-based Arts and Architecture magazine after World War II in response to the national housing shortage. A recent renovation of the home won the previous owners multiple honors in 2015, including the City of Pasadena Historic Preservation Award and Pasadena's Historic Preservation Commission's Reconstruction Award."

A matching guesthouse sits adjacent to the main residence. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is one of 36 Case Study Houses commissioned by Arts and Architecture magazine after World War II. The home received preservation awards in 2015 and previously sold for $1.6 million in 2012.
