About this home

Rare opportunity to own a custom mid century modern Streng Brothers built home designed by locally well-known architect Carter Sparks. This home was the Carter Sparks' personal residence in the 1960's that he designed for himself. It's a customized Classic' model floor plan with a glass-filled gable, post & beam construction, clerestory windows, redwood paneling, and a strong indoor outdoor connection. The bathrooms have been remodeled with stylish high-end quality materials such as Heath tile & terrazzo. It includes a spacious storage room with indoor laundry, tankless water heater, whole house water filter and exterior utility room. The backyard is a peaceful oasis with a Trex deck, mature landscaping, built-in BBQ, and various fruit trees such as grapefruit, lemon & persimmon. The original boulder water feature nestled in the black bamboo has been converted to a tranquil zen garden. The Sparks House' is looking for its new owners that will love and preserve this architectural gem.
