Step into the Mid-Century masterpiece of O'Neil Ford – a hidden gem within 1.2 acres of lush, landscaped beauty flanked by a meandering creek. Oversized windows and large framed sliding doors blur the lines between indoors and out, allowing for endless views of the property. Ford’s use of soft Mexican buff brick, horizontal wooden screens for private rooms, discrete front entrance, and private courtyards, combine to make this home an excellent example of Ford’s modern work. Full height fir paneled walls and original terrazzo floors create texture that is offset by exposed wood ceiling joists and skylights. In 1961, Architect Scott Lyons crafted a seamless expansion, adding a bedroom and informal living room, turning the original cubed footprint into an L-shape. Published in Architectural digest, this home is innately unique and a fantastic example of mid-century modern architecture that transitions seamlessly for todays modern lifestyle.
