Remarks

Designed by and long-time home to architect Dennis Kobza, this fine example of Californian modernism is on the market for the first time since its build in 1983.  Soaring ceilings, tall doorways, skylights, beautiful clean lines and angles, stained glass windows, open but defined and interconnected spaces, sympathetically designed to connect the indoor and outdoors.  Expansive grounds perfect for entertaining, and ample room to build a pool house and/or ADU.  Seize this unrivalled opportunity to exercise your imagination and polish this grand and characterful gem.  Two bedrooms are folded into the design of the main living space and a separate wing takes you to three generously sized bedrooms all looking out onto the back garden.
