From the 1927 Sunset Magazine article about the Hansen Residence - "Machines and speed we must have of course, in our work-a-day world, but blessed be those who can return at nightfall to homes that have been fashioned by hands. Individuality has found interesting expression in this unusual little canyon cote."16-159550_15_116-159550_16_1Upstairs is a converted attic/guest bedroom with exposed original beams and flooring. A brick and stone patio is surrounded by lush greenery and perfect for outdoor dining and lounging.
