Streamline Moderne estate by architect Saul Harris Brown built in 1938 with a later renovation & rare garden design by famed modern architect Gregory Ain. Interiors and kitchen have been recently updated by architects Escher GuneWardena, and plans exist for a pool designed by architect Barbara Bestor to complete an already lush and secluded backyard. An entry stairway leads to the living room with wood burning fireplace, original Art Deco lights, and access to the garden via ceiling height glass sliding doors and a pergola. The dining room at the other end of the home extends into a long, light-flooded galley kitchen with expansive pantry-storage and newer appliances. The kitchen and den on this level also have direct access to the garden and an adjacent bathroom. On the top level is another bathroom and three bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and access to the large roof terrace. The lower level of the home includes its own bathroom, additional storage, laundry room and separate entry from the outside- well appointed for use as an office, bedroom, home gym, or guest room. This unique architectural property features well-preserved original details like ceiling lights, railings and gates, and hardwood flooring throughout the house along with newer electrical wiring, copper plumbing, central AC and heat control on all three levels. Due to its architectural significance, the house should be eligible for Mills Act application. An architectural gem located on one of the city's most pedigreed streets, with nearby homes by R.M. Schindler, Harwell Hamilton Harris, J.R. Davidson, A.E. Morris, and more.
