Description

Tucked into the gentle curve of a hillside, this rare California modernist home designed by the world-renowned firm Buff and Hensman invites you into a masterpiece of mid-century modern design, an architectural poem composed of wood, glass, and sky. Few homes offer the opportunity to experience the movement as Buff and Hensman intended: timeless, effortless, alive. From the moment you arrive, the structure speaks: a genius balance of clean lines, natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The entry opens into a soaring great room bathed in natural light. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interior and nature, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Every detail reflects the architects' celebrated philosophy of livable artistry post-and-beam construction, a careful choreography of light and space, and an effortless connection to the environment. Every room, every transition from inside to out, reflects their belief that a home should not dominate its surroundings, but instead exist in quiet harmony with them. The spacious floor plan offers flexibility, with generously sized bedrooms and multiple outdoor terraces designed for relaxation, creativity, and connection. A chef's kitchen anchors the heart of the home, complete with warm wood cabinetry and original design elements lovingly preserved and updated for contemporary living. Surrounded by mature trees and quiet moments of landscape design, the property feels private yet welcoming. Ginko, avocado, grapefruit, loquat and lemon trees dot the property. Whether gathering with friends, finding inspiration in nature, or simply savoring the stillness, the home offers a truly timeless retreat.
