About this home
Rising into the treetops while blending into the natural landscape is the dramatic mid-century modern designed and owned by Lazlo Papp, one of our famous architects who came here to mingle with the 'Harvard Five'. Facing southwest among the trees and stonewalls with a commanding view of the beautiful valley, it is built of redwood and glass. The original summer cottage is the living room with a see-through fireplace enjoyed also in the dining room. Property is being offered ''AS IS''.
House available furnished or unfurnished. Main house is built in 1964.
