About This Home
As of July 2020Representative of a caliber that is higher than standard, this midcentury modern home is a true bespoke property. Skillfully renovated five years ago, the midcentury met modern with new HVAC & tankless water heater, new plumbing and electrical and new interior makeover. Terrazzo flooring inside and out underscores the elevated quality and aesthetic throughout the home. In the den fireplace, fire floats within a void of black granite. In the courtyard, flames dance above the fire pit in a private performance of motion and movement cast upon the courtyard walls. Architectural elements, by Palm Springs architect Richard Harrison, of 10 foot ceilings, walls of glass, clerestory windows, skylights and shadow block walls expertly sways light both day and night. From the cement dome of Lautner's Bob Hope house to the white dome of Big Bear, magnificent mountain views can be from just about every room. Offered turnkey furnished + Golf Cart.
