About This Home

As of November 2018

Lovely mid-century modern par excellence. Designed in part by protege of Frank Lloyd Wright. Beautiful, airy, light, spacious, wonderful canyon views with peek-a-boos of downtown Fairfax. Close to town, yet peaceful and remote-feeling. Property includes adjacent parcel (APN 002-143-28) making the property close to 1/2 an acre. This is NOT a fixer! Come see for yourself.
