Upon entry, you are welcomed by a glass-enclosed elevator that takes you up to a gallery-like space.  Your eyes can't help but to wander immediately through the airy and spacious environment.  From floor to ceiling this home truly is a work of art.  After 44 years, this home is being offered for the first time to prospective buyers looking for the ultimate in Modern.

The step-down living space provides a comfortable and cozy setting along with the handsome stone-faced fireplace.  The beautiful hardwood floors shine throughout this Mid-Century home.   The natural light in this room is spectacular with the tilted almost-floor-to-ceiling glass windows.  Such a beautiful nuance to this Modern.

I love this Crow's Nest-like Master Bedroom with a seating area overlooking the beautiful outdoors.  The vaulted ceilings keep the expanse of the room prominent. With access to an outdoor terrace inviting the outdoors in and other architectural details in just this room alone, expresses the architectural philosophy we see throughout the whole home.  I think if I only posted the picture below and just wrote about this listing, people would really understand what I had to say in relation to the whole house.

The Master Bath is truly an escape from it ALL.  This room feels massive with an over-sized steam shower and separate soaking tub.  You can bath away all of your challenges away while enjoying the warmth of the radiant heated porcelain floors. 

The Master Bath comes with dual walk-in closets with plenty of organized space. 

ECO-Friendly: The Mid-Century Modern Philosophy

What is truly amazing is that most Mid-Century Modern homes designed by some truly talented architects typically were eco-friendly, even in today's standards.  With complete pride-of-ownership here, the updating of this home to allow maximum sustainability is what makes this home a MODERN.  

• Skylights providing natural sunlight.  
• The pool with solar heated water.  
• Photo voltaic panels connecting directly to the Southern California Edison grid.  
• Vent-less fireplaces fueled by eco-friendly bio-ethanol.  
• Floor-to-ceiling windows providing natural light.  
• Thermal double-pained UV windows with motorized shades providing relief from the harsh Southern California sun.  
• Bamboo, cork, natural stone and glass providing an even further sustainable approach.  

I mean, this place just doesn't stop!  She's got me and I've got 'Sucker' written all over me.
