About This Home

As of December 2020

ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT. "The Jewel Box" built in 1966.
Designed by Raul F. Garduno, built by the owner and now being offered for your consideration by the original family. The adjacent upper view vacant parcel of land is also included in the sale. This stunning home is nestled on a secluded hillside cul-de-sac among a forest of pines. From the interior, cast your gaze through 24 foot floor-to-ceiling windows to a panoramic view that promises vast city lights of Orange County, Catalina Island, Palos Verdes Peninsula & the Pacific Ocean. Steel I-beams, concrete & glass contribute to the outrageous artistic freedom that offers an overwhelming abundance of space & light. The thoughtful use of ordinary & simple 1960's materials make the living spaces extraordinary, visual & tactile. This creative environment enjoys an immediate, powerful & captivating interior reflecting pool at the base of the steel open-baluster staircase and a living room with an astonishing library wall & ladder. All bedrooms are upstairs- the West Wing bedroom enjoys a view to the Southern garden and has a whimsical tile floor arranged to create a chess board. The North bedroom has a balcony with a pine forest view & the Master Suite has a city lights view, in-home office, large deck, dressing area, sunken tub and double sinks. For purists: the house has been maintained in as-close-to-original condition! Sold STRICTLY "AS-IS".
