The house

The house wraps around a long pool on two sides, and both sides are glass. The terrazzo floors are original and were polished, not replaced.

A fourth bedroom with its own bath sits across the pool from the main house, which works as a guest room or an office.

What you’ll notice

  • Long pool with glass on two sides
  • Original terrazzo floors
  • Guest room with its own bath
  • Stone wall at the street

Mid-century features

  • Post-and-beamThe roof rides on exposed beams and posts instead of walls, which frees the walls to be glass.
  • Walls of glassFloor-to-ceiling glass, usually sliding, between the living room and the yard.
  • TerrazzoMarble chips set in concrete and polished flat. Floors that still look new after seventy years.
  • Clerestory windowsA band of glass just under the roofline. Daylight all day, and the neighbors still can’t see in.

What it costs a month

Move the numbers to see a monthly payment. Mid-century houses often need a roof, glass or wiring budget too, so ask us what this one needs.
