From the Agent: "Originally built as a high-tech demonstration house in 1958, the Electri-Living Home for Tomorrow has been lovingly restored over the last decade. Akin to the widely celebrated Arts & Architecture’s Case Study House program and Concrete Industry Horizon Homes, the Electri-Living Home series of spec homes around the U.S. were designed by contemporary architects and welcomed thousands of visitors. During these receptions, the public was invited to witness the leading-edge in home design, technologies, and furnishings under the umbrella of postwar progressive ideals. Located in San Diego’s Del Cerro neighborhood, this 1,821-square-foot home offers a unique siting, and an ideal floor plan for indoor/outdoor living. Overall, the Electri-Living Home is set for decades of enjoyment ahead."
Set on a spacious corner lot, the Electri-Living home was one of 12 high-tech model homes in the United States when it was completed in 1958. It received a Gold Medallion award from San Diego Gas & Electric.
