An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a true architectural gem:a custom Northwest Regional Style MidCentury Modern home designed by architect John R. Gatewood for his family.The integrity of the design has been preserved throughout featuring original built-ins,period light fixtures, slab on grade construction with radiant in-floor heating and a materials palette of cork, ceramic and tile flooring.The residence offers one-level living with 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The living room features vaulted wood ceilings that meet a wall of Mt. Adams stone that seamlessly flows through an expansive wall of glass with territorial views.The kitchen and informal dining space have orig built-ins&fixtures while a vintage mural by James Seeman Studios of New York graces the dining nook wall.The study shares the stone wall with an integrated fireplace and concrete hearth bench, a built-in desk and an outdoor seating area.The primary bedroom suite overlooks a water feature and Japanese maple providing a serene setting.Further honoring the NW style’s founders, Gatewood expertly incorporated deep overhanging gables and a passive ventilation system providing fresh air throughout to allow for larger panes of fixed glass and frameless clerestory windows; a detail reminiscent of the esteemed designs of contemporaries John Yeon and Pietro Belluschi. Perched within its hillside lot to maximize privacy and breathtaking views, this home masterfully blurs the lines between the indoors and outdoors. The exterior living spaces are landscaped with mature, native plantings inspired by Japanese gardens w sculpted pine trees.The property includes a detached oversized double car garage with a dedicated workshop.Located on the esteemed Altadena Ave,a street known for its architecturally unique MCMs that rarely go on market. This special work of art is ready for the next steward who will enjoy the home's sophisticated design and honor the legacy of its artistry and architecture. [Home Energy Score = 1.
