This post and beam dwelling by Thomas A Dismukes makes the most of its views of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Hidden away behind a hedge on Pasadena’s 1615 Hastings Ranch Dr, the midcentury Californian property – for sale via Deasy / Penner & Partners for $1.899m – has multiple outdoor terraces, as well as expansive glazing, including unusual double-height clerestory windows.

High ceilings and wood panelling abound in the four-bedroom home, which includes a three-bedroom guest wing. Its master bedroom and bathroom have recently been sensitively remodelled, as has the kitchen, updated by architect Barbara Bestor.
