23570 Camino Hermoso Dr Unit MCM Main House

Live in a Work of Art.

An exceptional home for the most discerning eye. This mid-century modern architectural masterpiece was designed by the late Aaron Green, who worked closely with Frank Lloyd Wright, notably on the Marin Civic Center. Green was... an exceptionally talented architect in his own right. The home is now featured in a book of Aaron Green's life work, amongst other publications, and was included on the 2016 Frank Lloyd Wright Architectural Tour.

The home offers a stunning design with impeccable details. Aaron Green was a master of light; the mitered glass windows bring the outside in, and reflections of the pool water dance on the living room ceiling. The roof seems to float; the inside flows seamlessly to the gardens outdoors. With high ceilings and plenty of light, it is bright and airy, totally relaxing, you can experience living in a true architectural gem.

Located in Los Altos Hills in Silicon Valley, on a meandering quiet tree-lined street, it borders a nature preserve with beautiful hiking trails and Deer Hollow Farm, yet is close to fine dining and unique shops in downtown Los Altos. The rural atmosphere offers a serenely restful feeling, yet close to Palo Alto, and Stanford University, it's a great location that has easy access to all that Silicon Valley has to offer.

Fully or partially furnished. 4 bedrooms (2 bedrooms are currently set up as offices), 2 full bathrooms, and a powder room. There's an inviting comfortable sunken conversation pit, an open living dining area furnished with an inlaid custom designed table, and a beautifully designed angled pool that looks wonderful day and night. There are plenty of built in bookshelves and cabinetry for ample storage. Cozy radiant floor heating warms your feet! Constructed primarily of old growth heart redwood and distinctive Wrightian brickwork, there's attention to every detail from mitered glass corner windows to the unique sliding glass clerestory windows. The master bathroom and bedroom open to a skylit private atrium, next to a large walk in closet. There are many built-ins, including plenty of built in bookshelves and cabinetry for sleek seamless storage.

Set in rolling hills, with views of mountains and lovely gardens on almost 2 acres, you'll discover fruit trees, a fish pond, and raised vegetable and flower garden beds for your inner farmer! Experience exceptional tranquility, and enviable convenience. The home has been carefully maintained and restored over the years to respect the integrity of the original architectural design.

There's a separate guesthouse on the property, currently rented to a mature single quiet professional. It has a private entrance and a separate parking area. Pool & garden services are included. NO SMOKING. NO PETS.

Currently there is construction next door. The noise should be OK on the evenings and on weekends. For people working outside the home it should be fine. PLEASE NOTE: The pool is very close to the house and there's not a way it could be easily fenced off. It might be possible, but you'd have to look at it and take responsibility. There may be other solutions. The glass windows are original and they are not tempered glass. Read More
