About this home

Midcentury Modernist masterpiece in Cowan Heights, designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and inspired by the legendary Rosenbaum House. Completed in 1965, this architecturally significant home blends midcentury modernism with Wright’s signature Prairie-style philosophy. Set high in the hills of North Tustin, the property offers sweeping, 180 degree panoramic views from Mt. Baldy to Catalina Island, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing the horizon. The home’s understated street presence and privacy wall open to a warm, modern interior featuring vaulted post-and-beam ceilings, subtle level changes, and a centerpiece fireplace crafted in Wrightian tradition. Natural light pours through corner-butted, clerestory, triangle, and louvered windows. Interior finishes include original ribbon Mahogany cabinetry and interior doors, cinder block walls, and horizontal siding that flows from exterior to interior. A quiet and private escape that doesn’t come along often. A midcentury modern you must see in person to experience. The kitchen features a period-specific Gaggenau 5-burner stove, newer high-end stainless steel appliances, Silestone and granite countertops, and a mirrored wet bar. The primary suite includes a spa-style whirlpool tub, Hansgrohe hardware, and a custom walk-in closet. Additional features include skylights throughout, a 3-car garage, and a detached guest studio. Outside, nearly 2,500 square feet of wraparound Ironwood decking invite seamless indoor-outdoor living, all built into the hillside in harmony with nature. The landscaped grounds include a private pool tucked into the terrain, serene, not showy. This is more than a home; it’s a rare architectural offering -a work of art - equal parts sculpture, sanctuary, and statement, set on a 26,240 square foot lot with approximately 2,700 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms.

Excellent

This architecturally significant Midcentury Modern home, built in 1965, is in excellent condition due to meticulous preservation and high-end, recent updates. The description highlights 'newer high-end stainless steel appliances' in the kitchen, along with Silestone and granite countertops, and a 'spa-style whirlpool tub' with 'Hansgrohe hardware' in the primary suite. While retaining original, desirable features like ribbon Mahogany cabinetry and cinder block walls, these elements are part of its unique design and are impeccably maintained. The images show pristine flooring (tile and carpet), well-kept wood ceilings, and no visible signs of deferred maintenance. The property meets the 'Excellent' criteria of having 'no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation,' with key components being 'virtually new' or updated to 'current quality standards' within the context of its preserved architectural style.

Panoramic Views: Features sweeping 180-degree panoramic views from Mt. Baldy to Catalina Island, with floor-to-ceiling glass maximizing the stunning vistas.

Cons

Niche Market Appeal: The highly specific Midcentury Modernist architectural style, while a strength for some, may appeal to a narrower buyer demographic, potentially extending market time.
Age of Systems & Potential for Updates: Built in 1965, the property may have original core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future investment for modernization or maintenance, and no cooling system is mentioned.
Specialized Maintenance: The unique and original materials, such as ribbon Mahogany and cinder block walls, while desirable, may necessitate specialized care or more complex repairs compared to conventional homes.
