Live in a Work of Art An exceptional home for the most discerning eye. This mid-century modern architectural masterpiece was designed by the late Aaron Green, who worked closely with Frank Lloyd Wright, notably on the Marin Civic Center. Green was an exceptionally talented architect in his own right. The home is now featured in a book of Aaron Green's life work, amongst other publications, and was included on the 2016 Frank Lloyd Wright Architectural Tour. The home offers a stunning design with impeccable details. Aaron Green was a master of light; the mitered glass windows bring the outside in, and reflections of the pool water dance on the living room ceiling. The roof seems to float; the inside flows seamlessly to the gardens outdoors. With high ceilings and plenty of light, it is bright and airy, totally relaxing, you can experience living in a true architectural gem. Located in Los Altos Hills in Silicon Valley, on a meandering quiet tree-lined street, it borders a nature preserve with beautiful hiking trails and Deer Hollow Farm, yet is close to fine dining and unique shops in downtown Los Altos. The rural atmosphere offers a serenely restful feeling, yet close to Palo Alto, and Stanford University, it's a great location that has easy access to all that Silicon Valley has to offer. Fully furnished. It's listed as 3 bedrooms, but there are actually 4 bedrooms; one is currently set up as office with a custom corner teak workspace. There are 2 full bathrooms, and a powder room. An inviting comfortable sunken conversation pit has a large built in corner couch, creating opportunities to connect. The open living/dining area is furnished with an inlaid custom designed table. A beautifully designed angled pool reflects dancing sunlight on the living room ceiling. Plenty of built in bookshelves and cabinetry offer ample storage. Cozy radiant floor heating will warms your feet. Constructed primarily of old growth heart redwood and distinctive Wrightian brickwork, there's attention to every detail from mitered glass corner windows to the unique sliding glass clerestory windows. The master bathroom and bedroom open to a skylit private atrium, next to a large walk in closet. There are many built-ins, including plenty of built in bookshelves and cabinetry for sleek seamless storage.
