Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1975, the property is nearly 50 years old and retains its original mid-century organic modern design. While the architectural integrity is well-preserved, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated with 1970s-era tiling, cabinetry, and fixtures. The home appears functional and move-in ready, but the age of the systems and finishes necessitates updates to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 46609, living area = 3058.
Elementary School: Painted Rock Elementary School (9/10).
Designed by renowned architect Sim Bruce Richards, this 'Stephens Residence' is a masterpiece of organic modernism featuring integrated custom artistry by James Hubbell and Rhoda LeBlanc Lopez.
The 1975 wood-heavy organic construction and unique artistic installations may require more frequent and specialized maintenance compared to contemporary conventional homes.
The highly specific mid-70s aesthetic and permanent artistic features may limit the property's appeal to a niche group of architectural collectors rather than the general luxury market.
The Stephens Residence by architect Sim Bruce Richards reflects the woodsy, organic modernism of the West that peaked in the mid-70s. Offering incredible views from its hillside location – whether indoors, on the deck or poolside. Character abound, the home features integrated artistry of sculptor James Hubbell and ceramist Rhoda LeBlanc Lopez. Nestled comfortably in its acre site, the property is full of trees, boulders and native plants. The pool is surrounded by a large deck for relaxing & entertaining, which runs the length of the house, leading to another patio space at the front of the home with amazing sunset views.
