Amazing architectural detail in this mid century modern home situated on approximately four acres. The striking masonry rock wall fireplace is the centerpiece of the open living space. The living room’s vaulted beamed ceiling, cantilevered steps and the walls of windows highlight the many architectural details, while the dark wood floors are highlighted by the natural light. The open kitchen is inviting with the built-in stainless steel oven within the masonry rock wall. A corridor leads to the bedroom wing with nicely proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom suite features a magnificent stone wall incorporating a wood burning fireplace as a backdrop for peaceful nights. This home with a additional guest house has great architectural lines. Howard Cosell once owned this property.
