From the Agent: "Designed by residential architect Charles W. Wong, this post-and-beam, midcentury home incorporates classic modernist design elements like wood paneling, tongue-and groove ceilings, clerestory windows, and walls of glass. Charles Wong immigrated in the 1930s from China, settled in Los Angeles, graduated from Polytechnic High School in 1946 and graduated from USC’s School of Architecture in 1951, and was one of a handful of Asian-American Architects that contributed to the modernist landscape of Los Angeles in the ’60s. This unique home is characterized by its open, airy spaces, clean lines, and extensive use of glass to maximize the connection with the surrounding natural environment. The home stands on tall posts, elevating it above the ground and allowing it to hover amongst the treetops. The open floor plan is a hallmark of midcentury-modern design, where the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly into one another. Each of the four bedrooms in the main home offer a private sanctuary, inviting you to relax and unwind in comfort while enjoying unobstructed views of the lush greenery."
