Designed by residential architect Charles W. Wong and built in 1961, this post-and-beam mid century modern home incorporates classic modernist design elements of wood paneling, tongue-and groove ceilings clerestory windows and walls of glass. A rare architectural treasure that stands among the finest examples of iconic Southern California mid-century modern design. Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out majestic mountain views in nearly every room and fostering a sense of peaceful seclusion. Charles Wong graduated from Polytechnic High School in 1946 and graduated from USC's School of Architecture in 1951 and was one of a handful of Architects that contributed to the Modernists landscape of Los Angeles in the 60's. This unique home is characterized by its open, airy spaces, clean lines, and extensive use of glass to maximize the connection with the surrounding natural environment. Categorically different from its neighbors, Wong carefully blends the simplicity of post and beam design inside the house and more complex, intricate details on the exterior elevating it above the ground and allowing it to hover amongst the treetops.As you enter the home, you're greeted by a spacious and light-filled living area. The open floor plan is a hallmark of mid-century modern design, where the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly into one another. The large windows, extending from floor to ceiling, immerse the interior in natural light and offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and mountains. All these intricate details are met along the margin of the house as they appear to be delicately balanced over the horizontal ribboning of clerestory windows. Each of the bedrooms in the main home offer a private sanctuary, inviting you to relax and unwind in comfort while enjoying unobstructed views of the lush greenery. A highlight of the home is the private guest house wrapped in glass. It is elevated above the ground and hovers in the tree tops. As you enter the guest house, you're greeted by a spacious and light-filled living area that enjoys complete privacy and offers an oasis away from the main home as a design studio or office space. A three quarter bathroom completes this 705 sqft space. It is an architectural gem that combines the timeless elegance of mid-century design with the serene embrace of nature.
