Shrouded by mature long needle evergreens, at the end of a long secluded driveway is this significant one-level home designed by James De Long, A.I.A., a Fellow at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West. Manicured Morada Place gives way to this architectural home situated on a 9,000+ square foot lot within walking distance to the Altadena Country Club.The design and materials used are typical of those found in Wright's Usonian homes. Built in 1951 for De Long's parents, this home was featured on the cover of the October 1959 edition of House Beautiful magazine and was included in the Altadena Heritage Modernism home tour in October 2003.The minimal kitchen includes a hidden pantry wall. The open L- shaped plan allows for easy access from all of the rooms to the secluded patio and pool area. Mostly in its original condition the home boasts two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. Like Frank Lloyd Wright homes, the floors are red concrete with a radiant heating system. In addition to the home there is a small detached studio. In the private backyard the brick paved patio surrounds a kidney shaped pool with plenty of room for playing, entertaining and relaxing. This unique home should not be missed!For more information or to schedule a showing please email me or call me at 310.913.7651Listing courtesy of Jeannette Muirhead, Podley Properties
