A Mid-Century Modern Landmark

Pasadena, California | $4,599,000

Set gently into the tree-lined edge of the Arroyo Seco, this two-story mid-century modern residence was designed by California modernist architect William E. Blurock, FAIA, whose career shaped landmark civic and educational buildings across the state and around the world. Believed to be one of only a few private homes he ever designed, this striking mid-century residence is quietly tucked behind mature landscaping within Pasadena’s storied, National Register-listed Prospect Historic District. The home also carries a remarkable provenance as the longtime residence of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who lived here during his most creative years at Caltech. The scientist who named the “quark” and reorganized our understanding of the building blocks of matter found his home in a house designed, quite literally, to lift its inhabitants toward the light and the view.

Landmark Queen Anne Stunner

Morganton, North Carolina | $799,000

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable Victorian is more than a home, it is a piece of Morganton’s history, thoughtfully preserved and beautifully enhanced for modern living. A wraparound porch welcomes you inside, where soaring ceilings, original wood floors, marble and stone accents, pocket doors, and multiple fireplaces reflect the craftsmanship of another era. Outside, the beautifully landscaped 0.76-acre lot feels like a private garden in the heart of downtown Morganton, complete with a fire pit, mature trees, and inviting outdoor spaces designed for entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. A detached two-car garage, sidewalks, and walkable access to downtown restaurants, breweries, shops, and community events complete an offering that is rarely found. For those who appreciate historic homes, timeless architecture, and the opportunity to own one of Morganton’s landmark residences, this is a home that will be admired for generations.
