"The crown jewel of the offering is the Thorgusen Residence, a mid-century modern masterpiece originally built in 1953 by renowned architect Robert Thorgusen."
"With 14-foot ceilings, sharply defined folded-plate rooflines, and an aesthetic that merges clean lines with organic elements, the home is a striking example of post-war California architecture."
"These design features are more than decorative; they reflect a time when modern architecture was pushing boundaries and experimenting with form."
"The folded-plate roof isn't just visually distinctive-it's structurally complex, demanding a level of engineering precision that only a handful of homes from that era exhibit today."
