From the Agent: "Arguably one of the best in this enclave of 52 Ain-designed properties, this home has been well maintained and lovingly renovated by the creative family who live here. Originally the three-block neighborhood was conceived as a combination of good design and low-cost postwar housing—Gregory Ain’s attempt to bring modernist aesthetic sensibilities to the masses. By rotating the houses in different directions and alternating rectangular and square forms, the architect was able to create eight unique configurations, resulting in a variegated presence on the streets. Unifying the composition, landscape architect Garrett Eckbo created a communal, park-like setting for the homes, with continuous lawns and green space running the length of the streets, unbroken by fences or private boundaries. Today, the neighborhood remains a tight-knit community of like-minded architecture lovers who value the positive lifestyle benefits stimulated by good design."
