From the Agent: "Originally designed by Case Study Architect Thornton M. Abell in the International Style in 1951, for a couple and their two sons, the house was realized through two stages for economic reasons. Eventually, a main house with three bedrooms, a separate art studio, and a guesthouse above the garage were completed. The structures are strategically placed on an oversized, street-to-street lot maximizing light, embracing nature, and forming a private compound environment. The current owner, an architect, rebuilt the house from the ground up over a five-year period, extrapolating on the original footprint and plans by Thornton M. Abell, using 21st-century materials enhanced by top international standards of construction and all expected modern conveniences."
