After a Soulful Remix, a Midcentury Ranch Asks $2.4M in Southern California
Artfully reimagined by A1000xBetter, this Pasadena residence feels bright, roomy, and just the right amount of funky.
Originally built in 1950, this ranch-style house near the edge of the Arroyo in Pasadena, California, remained in the hands of one family before the current owner, Kirsten Blazek founder and creative director of home staging and interior design company A1000xBetter gave it an expert upgrade. The property stands out due to its exceptional, soulful, and thoughtful design, says listing agent Jennifer Parker-Stanton. Kirsten enhanced and reworked the traditional ranch home’s bones into an Ojai-inspired retreat.

âThereâs no logical reason why I am so attracted to the American Southwest,â says Kirsten Blazek, who was born in Scotland and moved to the States in her early 20s when she was a self-described âfresh-faced know-nothing.â âItâs the opposite of where I grew up. Maybe thatâs why I like it.â
