From the Agent: "Originally designed by Case Study Architect Thornton M. Abell in the International Style in 1951, for a couple and their two sons, the house was realized through two stages for economic reasons. Eventually, a main house with three bedrooms, a separate art studio, and a guesthouse above the garage were completed. The structures are strategically placed on an oversized, street-to-street lot maximizing light, embracing nature, and forming a private compound environment. The current owner, an architect, rebuilt the house from the ground up over a five-year period, extrapolating on the original footprint and plans by Thornton M. Abell, using 21st-century materials enhanced by top international standards of construction and all expected modern conveniences."
Steps lead down to the rebuilt midcentury home, which is surrounded by thick vegetation.
The public spaces feature board-formed concrete walls, built-in oak cabinetry, and heated floors. Both the living area and kitchen offer direct outdoor access.
Exposed beams and black-framed sliding-glass doors stretch across the living and dining areas. Skylights fill the interior with daylight.
The upper-level primary bedroom includes an en suite bath with a soaking tub and shower. Tall windows frame partial views of the Pacific Ocean.
"The guesthouse studio is of equal quality to the main house and offers a quiet and multifunctional space," notes the agent. A separate studio/office structure is also included.
A firepit area in the backyard provides a cozy outdoor setting for entertaining.
