Robb Report: Front page feature article (May, 2024). DWELL upcoming feature publication (July, 2024). Welcome to this accolade-studded 1958 Mid-Century Modern masterpiece tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Northridge. Thoughtfully re-envisioned and restored by a Los Angeles-based design team with permits and receipts for all work in hand, this architectural gem shows brand new finishes from top to bottom. Deep stained walnut wood paneling and modular built-ins harken back to the original pioneers of Mid-Century like Neutra, Frey, and Schindler. A dream home for entertaining with indoor/outdoor living; custom sliding doors open out to the private oasis with brand new flowing concrete surrounding the newly refinished kidney shaped pool. Classic shapes compliment the shaded overhang for summer night al fresco dining. Elegant, warm architectural materials include original hardwood floors and wood veneer doors refinished and sealed, handmade tile, and terrazzo textured flooring. Inside, the original stone fireplace restored to fit today's safety standards capstones the artistic living room space. Built-in breakfast nook plus under seating storage plays with vintage fixtures and new appliances in the kitchen. Rich wood meets clean lines with the extensive built in shelving for entertaining storage. 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 updated bathrooms, including oversized primary suite with expansive closet space. Primary bathroom includes a custom built double vanity, walk-in shower and inset freestanding soaking tub. New garage door, new windows, newly coated driveway, new roofing, new fencing, new heating and cooling, updated plumbing, new electric panel and service drop. Custom designed Sunburst door handle evokes connection between the home and the namesake street it rests upon. Lush xeriscape landscaping with a new drip system on automatic timer fits the period perfectly while saving money on the water bill. This home is about the best of historic architecture meeting the best of today's systems, technology, and artistry. Close to Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Porto's Bakery, and one of "Eater Los Angeles 38 Best Restaurants", Thai foodie outpost, Lum-Ka-Naad.
