Mid-Century Modern, Reimagined. This singular residence is a compelling conversation between two architectural eras, where a gracious 1950s post-and-beam home designed by Robert Peterson, who studied under Mies van der Rohe, meets a striking contemporary addition by architect Zehra Kuz Mackin. The original structure, defined by its low-slung roofline and classic Mid-Century proportions, has been thoughtfully opened and refined, allowing light to move freely through beautifully composed interiors. Created to accommodate an art collection, guests and vintage automobiles, the zinc-and-glass addition introduces a distinctly modern vocabulary while remaining remarkably harmonious with the original architecture. A sculptural glass-and-steel staircase, gallery-like spaces, private guest suite and collector's garage blur the distinction between residence and exhibition space, yet the home remains inviting and eminently livable. The interior of the original house has been substantially renovated including a recent kitchen makeover. Beyond the glass, architecture gives way to landscape. A serene, spa-like pool creates an extraordinary sense of privacy and retreat. Rare, sophisticated and impossible to replicate, this is modernism not preserved in amber, but beautifully evolved.

Mid-Century meets 21st Century Modern! This absolutely sublime architectural home is a study in light, living spaces, interiors, exteriors and purposeful sense of space. The story begins with the original home – a gracious 1950’s post and beam with a gently sloping roofline that defined an architectural era. This portion of the home has been completely renovated, opening up unnecessary partition walls and giving light the opportunity to reside within. When the owners decided to expand in order to give proper space for artwork, additional guests, and vintage cars, they collaborated with Zehra Kuz Mackin to create an entirely modern space – the “new modern” portion of the home. Clad in zinc and glass, this portion of the home is a visual juxtaposition against the original home, yet makes such rational functional sense. This is the side of the home with the glass and steel staircase, collector’s garage, another guest suite and beautiful spaces for artwork, entertaining and retreating. The two portions of the home are so harmonious and melt perfectly into the gardens and yard, where specimen trees beckon and where a spa-like pool awaits. Truly one of a kind, this exceptional residence offers privacy, sanctuary and an elevated lifestyle.
