All original, walls of glass, on one acre, atrium, La Canada

Greetings to all you midmod fans out there. I bring you a spectacular home that sits on an acre of prime La Canada soil. This Eichler inspired modern home has 3 beds/3baths.

Original wall coverings and sunken soaking tubs give this home its Asian inspiration. So many early mid-century architects took their inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright who worked and traveled extensively in Japan.

You can see this inspiration and influence in many local mid-century homes. You enter this home through two massive wooden doors that open into a pleasant open air atrium with aggregate flooring, plantings and a water feature. As you continue, you are greeted by walls of glass on all sides. Travel to your left, you enter the sleeping quarters. To the front, the kitchen and dining area, and to the right the game room, living room and formai dining room.

There is a wood paneled study where the original plans for the house were found. What a treat! The bedrooms have some great (?) shag carpet and built-in cabinetry. What I like most about this home and most mid-century homes, is the communing of inside and out. Each bedroom has sliding doors that allow you access to the rear of the house. Outside each bedroom, there is a screened sitting area so that you can enjoy the gentle breezes, sun, shade and perhaps a good book.

There is a pool, but it is tucked away to the left in this photo. All in all, a remarkable home that has stood the test of time.
