Experience a Unique Masterpiece: Custom Geodesic Dome Home
Step into a rare opportunity to own a custom geodesic dome home, an architectural marvel inspired by the renowned 20th-century inventor Buckminster Fuller. This unique design, known for its circular construction, offers a sustainable living space that uses one-third less surface area, meaning less building material is required, embodying the principles of green living. Lovingly hand-built between 1976-1979 by a NASA Jet Propulsion Labs engineer, this home has been revitalized by its current designer/builder owners, who have seamlessly brought it into the 21st century with modern enhancements.
Perched in the sought-after "College Hills" above Whittier College, this mid-century gem provides breathtaking 180-degree views, abundant natural light, and beautiful new cork floors. The open-concept layout effortlessly blends segmented spaces, allowing you to enjoy each area uniquely. This is not a flip; it’s a meticulously crafted custom build-out where every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the stunning exposed beams to the new, eye-catching bathroom tiles and drought-resistant landscaping.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom handles and cabinetry that flow seamlessly into a bespoke coffee/breakfast countertop and sitting benches, all oriented to capture the spectacular 180-degree views. The entire home has been remodeled to include an additional 400 square feet, incorporating a luxurious master bedroom and flexible space. The master suite, with its expansive windows, floods the room with natural light and offers incredible views, perfect for a serene morning routine.
Enjoy the newly built deck on the backyard hillside, ideal for soaking in the magnificent sunset views. The oversized garage accommodates up to four cars, and the 26.5-foot wide driveway provides ample additional parking. Located just 18 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles and within walking distance of Historic Uptown Whittier’s vibrant shops, bars, coffee shops, and restaurants, this home offers a unique and enriching living experience.
Not only is this home a sound investment opportunity, but it is also a showpiece you will be proud to own.
