An unspoiled example of outstanding Mid-Century Modern, this home was designed by Ward R. Helman for himself and is now offered for sale by the family. Clad in redwood and set against the mountainside, the structure integrates seamlessly with its surroundings. A testament to form and foresight, the home offers radiant heating under the floors, hidden storage in almost every wall, beautiful Arcadia glass doors and windows, quarry tile floors in the living and dining room, and skylights throughout. The dining and family rooms feature walnut built-ins, and the master bedroom has a dramatic built-in headboard and matching bedside tables. The central kitchen and charming breakfast bar overlook an atrium accessible via sliders from the hallway and dining room. Tucked within the family room is a swank bar, as well as a sewing nook. The dramatic ceiling-height fireplace hood was also designed by the architect. An unusual find in Monrovia, this home has been designated a Historic Landmark and is eligible for a Mills Act Contract (buyer to confirm with City of Monrovia). Sited on a corner parcel in this peaceful enclave, the one-acre lot provides space and opportunity for gardens and enhancement. A unique and special property!
