This rare 'Trudy Richards' Mid-Century Modern home was designed by acclaimed architect Barry Berkus, featuring iconic vaulted open-beam ceilings and clerestory windows that offer significant historical and aesthetic value.
At 1,512 square feet, the interior living space is relatively compact for a three-bedroom home in this price bracket, which may be a constraint for growing families or those requiring more square footage.
While the home features new appliances and paint, the use of tile countertops and wood-laminate flooring may be viewed as dated or lower-tier by buyers looking for high-end luxury renovations.
Rare opportunity to own a highly sought-after "Trudy Richards" Mid-Century Modern home designed by acclaimed architect Barry Berkus. During his distinguished career, Berkus earned more than 300 design and planning awards, was recognized by Professional Builder as the most innovative housing architect in the United States, and was named one of America's Top 100 Architects by Architectural Digest. Adding to the home's unique history, the "Trudy Richards" name was created for marketing and became synonymous with these distinctive residences. Each home received a ceramic "Trudy Richards" tile at its entrance. Berkus later explained that the name combined developer Richard L. Weiss's first name with that of his wife, Trudy. Set back from the street behind a large, park-like front yard, this exceptional residence embodies the principles of Mid-Century Modern design. A striking glass front door creates a dramatic sightline through the home to the private rear yard beyond, showcasing the seamless indoor-outdoor living that defines Berkus' work. The open-concept floor plan features soaring vaulted open-beam ceilings, clerestory windows, and expansive walls of glass that flood the interior with natural light while connecting the living spaces to the outdoors. The spacious living room, anchored by a contemporary fireplace, flows into the spacious sunlit dining area, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen offers abundant white cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, tile countertops, a pantry, and ample workspace. Wide-plank wood-laminate flooring extends throughout the home, complemented by a freshly painted interior that enhances the bright, airy atmosphere. The primary suite features dual closets and a private three-quarter bath, while the secondary bedrooms are filled with natural light from large windows. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the private backyard offers multiple covered patios, a sparkling swimming pool, mature landscaping, and a charming treehouse. Surrounded by lush greenery, the outdoor spaces provide exceptional privacy and a true retreat-like setting.
