This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home with rich history. Designed by David Adler, this residence was originally the stable of the famed Albert Lasker Estate and it just keeps getting better. Tucked back from the street, a stucco wall and mature tree cover provide privacy for the beautiful brick paver patio, complete with the original circular watering trough. The inviting home is enhanced by tall ceilings, rich millwork, and built-in bookcases. In addition to the striking architectural details, this home features hardwood flooring on the first and second floors and a renovated white kitchen. The many improvements complement the integrity of the home with a newer roof, furnace, AC, and added irrigation system.
