Imported Italian Terrazzo floors, 3 fireplaces, and extensive remodel updates make this true California living.

There are exterior buildings totaling 1116 feet that included a media room/ party room (possible ADU) and work room. You will even find construction blueprints from noted architect Marion J Varner, whose works include the Burbank Federal Building and City of Bell library. This incredible property blends vintage architecture with todays modern amenities in a ultra- private and serene setting perfect for entertainers, families, and those with an appreciation for iconic mid-century modern design.
