Property Description

Preserved mid-century modern home on a gated, fully-enclosed 15,000 SF lot. Whoever is fortunate enough to buy, is going to be owner no. 3 since its construction in 1947. Past the steel automatic gate, there is complete privacy and serenity, circumadjacent mountain views, established landscaping, and lots of parking space. Inside, much of the home's original character is preserved, including paneling, built-ins, Malm-style stove, and a Palos Verde stone hearth anchoring the piece de resistance- a row of picture windows along the north side of the home looking out on the landscaping. There is even a preserved period chandelier which you can tell your friends you bought for thousands at RH. The front of the home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a sizable suite, with lots of storage space in the hallway. The back side of the home is an addition of some 1000+ SF (probably entirely permitted- given the age, record is spotty, but owner can provide permit history from 3 municipal agencies), and features office and recreational space as well as a 3/4 bath. Think of it as a canvas for your design talents. With almost 15,000 SF of land, there is space for adding a pool in the back. The grounds are redolent with various flowers, flowering shrubs, flowering citrus (including orange, and Eureka and Meyer lemon), pomegranate, persimmon, and macadamia. The inherent value of the single-story mid mod home + large lot justify almost any investment.
