Overview

Description

This one-of-a-kind midcentury burnt adobe was once owned by famed industrialist Howard Hughes. Distinctive character is evident throughout, beginning with the living room's rhyolite stone fireplace framed by wood beam ceilings that create an architectural focal point. The spacious family room features Mexican tile floors and a second fireplace. There's an office off the family room providing extra versatility. The kitchen retains its original custom mahogany cabinetry, now paired with quartz and butcher block countertops. The primary suite includes a dressing area with built-in cabinetry and dual closets. All three bedrooms open to the wide covered patio through sliding glass doors, inviting indoor-outdoor living.

Supplements: Enjoy city lights and sunset views from the back patio. Don't miss the extended-length 2-car garage with workshop space next to a third covered parking space.
