The Past Meets the Present in This Rebuilt L.A. Midcentury Listed for $10.5M
"Originally designed by Case Study Architect Thornton M. Abell in the International Style in 1951, for a couple and their two sons, the house was realized through two stages for economic reasons," says listing agent Frank Langen. "Eventually, a main house with three bedrooms, a separate art studio, and a guesthouse above the garage were completed. The structures are strategically placed on an oversized, street-to-street lot maximizing light, embracing nature, and forming a private compound environment. The current owner, an architect, rebuilt the house from the ground up over a five-year period, extrapolating on the original footprint and plans by Thornton M. Abell, using 21st-century materials enhanced by top international standards of construction and all expected modern conveniences."

The space, renovated to perfection and with wall-to-wall south-facing windows, is ideal for entertaining. Other high-end upgrades and features include hand-painted wall murals by Dean Barger Studios, Austrian white oak flooring, collectible light fixtures, and luxurious drapery throughout.

Concrete Is King in This Monumental Home That Just Hit the Market in Mexico
"Villa ITO is located just 20 minutes from the historic center of San Miguel de Allende on a scenic drive that takes you past small, family-run farms nestled between fields of nopales, cornfields, mesquite trees, and sage," say listing agents Ezra Clark and Sheryl Clark. "Turning left off the main road, you come to a narrow lane that bends gradually up a slight incline into the valley. The road widens to reveal the heart of the valley and Villa ITO. Blending with the muted browns and grays of the rising landscape, the villa is an expansive six-acre property that merges authentic Mexican accents, modern concrete construction, and forms of Japanese design that emphasize uncluttered space and a relationship to nature."
A Historic L.A. Home Just Hit the Market for the First Time in 70 Years
"This architecturally significant home features unparalleled, panoramic views across the city to the ocean," says listing agent Lorraine Getz. "Sunlight cascades throughout the open floor plan, which features many original details, including floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, skylights, handcrafted wood paneling, wood built-ins, aggregate concrete flooring, and cove lighting in the grand living space. Surrounded by nature, this property also offers a front courtyard and expansive backyard, making you feels as if you are in your own private park."
A Rare Midcentury Home by Bertrand Goldberg Surfaces for $14M on Shelter Island
"The Snyder House is something of a legend in the long history of Shelter Island," says listing agent Nick Brown. "Built in 1952 and designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg, 2 Charlie’s Lane offers magnificent panoramic water views of West Neck Harbor and Long Island Sound. The home has long considered a ‘must see,’ and onlookers would come from the island and beyond, many transported by amphibious airplanes from New York City to experience the so-called ‘demonstration house.’ In 2002, the current owners undertook rebuilding the home on its original sprawling footprint, maintaining the elements of its midcentury-modern design while sparing no expense to bring this 20th-century masterpiece up to 21st-century living standards of ultimate comfort and high-end quality."
