The home was later owned by U.S. Senator and esteemed scholar S.I. Hayakawa, and was thoughtfully remodeled in 1956 by his brother-in-law, William Wesley PetersFrank Lloyd Wright's chief engineer. Set on just under an acre, the gated property features a spacious driveway, lush mature gardens with towering redwood, oak, and maple trees, and sweeping, unobstructed views of Mount Tamalpais, the Marin Headlands, and the redwood forest of West Blithedale Canyon.
