//McKee Thompson House, Theodore Pletsch, 1950//Situated on a gated one-acre lot across from Lacy Park, this one-and-a-half-level Mid-Century Modern home was built in 1950 by Theodore Pletsch. Featured in the June 1954 edition of Sunset Magazine, the residence exemplifies Pletsch's signature 'outdoor room in the traditional manner, ' nestled between the home's two wings--an arrangement he referred to as his distinctive 'V' floor plan. True to Mid-Century Modern principles, the design expands the living space by blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. Pletsch thoughtfully incorporated outdoor areas as functional living spaces, ideal for year-round enjoyment due to So Cal's climate. In keeping with the original vision, the current owners added a 590sf studio pool house complete with a bedroom, kitchen, family area, and bathroom. Two walls of glass doors open to the pool, patio, and gardens, further enhancing the seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Lush, landscaped gardens and winding walking trails lead to the observation cabin with a rooftop deck, offering a tranquil setting to further enjoy the surrounding verdant landscape. Located just blocks away from Valentine and Huntington Schools, the McKee Thompson House is hidden behind high hedges, gates and landscaping. Allowing for privacy and tranquility in the heart of San Marino. //Features: * 5BR/5BA. * Entry-level: 3BR suites (Primary), Kitchen opening to Jr Family Room, Dining Room, Living Room and Powder Room. * Lower-level: Family Room, BR suite, BR/Office, laundry and attached garage access. * 590sf pool house: Open floorplan: BR, BA, Kitchen, Family. * Outdoor fireplace. * Outdoor shower. * 150sf Observation Cabin: Studio with indoor ladder and exterior stairs to upper observation deck. * Two-car attached garage w/ paver motor court & driveway. * Automatic driveway gate. * Updated systems. * Security system w/ cameras. * Additional address: 1405 Shenandoah Rd. //
