From the Agent: "This quintessential Mad Men–era masterpiece has been carefully restored to its modernist glory and is hitting the market for the first time in 60 years. Hailed as ‘The House of Balconies’ by the San Francisco Examiner when it was built, the home features soaring ceilings and expansive walls of floor-to-ceiling windows that frame dramatic views of Mt. Diablo and vineyards dotting distant Lafayette hillsides. Klemmedson married indoor and outdoor spaces by extending a limestone wall from the Zen-like entryway into the living room’s stunning floor-to-ceiling stone wall and out again toward the backyard pool."
A wide, paved drive leads to the home’s entry, where a bright orange door extends a cheerful welcome. Mature oak, pine, and bay trees encompass the private half-acre lot.
