Quintessential Modernist Architecture
Renovated in 2022
- Custom-designed by Southern California architect Scott Durand in 1958, this quintessential mid-century home has it all: design pedigree, a premium South-facing backyard pool with majestic views of the Santa Rosa Mountains and an old Hollywood past: in this home Frank Sinatra and Franco Zeffirelli spent time with previous owners. Bay Area couple, Italian actor and designer Mario Guariso and attorney Robert Millar recently renovated the home as their desert getaway
- A circular stone driveway, lined with old-growth Date Palms, the calming sounds of a water feature and native birds will welcome you to this unique vacation home, encouraging you to put your feet up and let your hair down
Nature By Design
- From nearly every spot in the house, architectural windows create sight lines that connect your eye with nature
- The stacked-stone fireplace is situated to provide privacy and warmth
- "Clerestory" windows reveal skyline and palm tree views, while the dramatic floor to ceiling glass connects the entire living area to the outdoor gardens, pool and entertainment areas under the mountain view backdrop
- Quartzite flagstone installed throughout the home and outdoor entertainment spaces blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living - grounding the entire home in nature
- The desert-conscious landscape design incorporates drought-resistant plants, mature citrus trees and legacy Date Palms with engineered lawns, which allows for the conservation of precious desert water resources, while the grandfathered solar panel system keeps the overall utility expenses at very low levels
A Resort Within
The private garden oasis invites you to explore your senses:
- Sunbathe poolside or take a dive in the crystal-clear newly renovated PebbleTec pool
- Read a book while swinging on the hammock under the shade of Orange trees
- Dine al fresco or lounge on the covered outdoor patio
- Enjoy Night Jasmine and Citrus fragrances while soaking in the generous spa
- Take a hot or cold water rainfall shower under the stars at the private stainless steel outdoor shower
- Cozy up around the outdoor fire pit while watching sunsets fall on the desert mountains skyline
Design Driven - Turnkey
- The open floor plan was enhanced by natural quartzite floors connecting the indoor and outdoor living spaces seamlessly, and making the entirety of the home and its 1/4 of an acre lot completely level-in which allows for multi-generational living with ease
- "Hollywood" guest bathroom design makes effective use of a sunny bathroom with large windows, connecting the divided bathroom to a private cactus garden
- Turnkey, the house comes fully furnished with plush designer fixtures, one-of-a-kind artwork and accessories to complement the architectural imprint and ample open space concept living
Choice Lighting
- All interiors benefit from ample indirect natural day light
- Updated LED dimmable select fixtures allow from moody to bright ambient lighting
- Under-the-counter and under-cabinet lighting in kitchen and bathrooms enhance the ambiance
- Floor lighting boost the architectural lines of the original "breeze block" divider in the main living area
- The warm LED uplighting highlights some of the most beautiful mid-century features of this home including the stacked-stone accents and the custom outdoor sculpture
