A rare opportunity to own a cultural and historical treasure designed by the influential 20th century architect, Gregory Ain in 1948. One of only 52 homes originally marketed as Moderniqe Homes and currently known as the Mar Vista Tract, a designated HPOZ since 2003. By rotating the one-floor plan in different directions, varying set backs and entrance locations, Ain was able to create dynamic visual variations between the 52 houses. With his innovative sliding room divider (still present) he created a flexible interior easily converting to a one, two, or three bedroom home. This iconic property has been updated but remains true to its original design. Particularly outstanding is the spacious living room highlighted by a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass blurring the distinction between indoor and outdoor space while extending the living room into the garden. The sleek kitchen remains open to the family/dining room centered around the original fireplace. The Mar Vista tract is known for the integration of building and landscape design. Original landscape designer, Garrett Eckbo worked with Ain to achieve a shared and cohesive urban space with a park-like atmosphere in the street. Today, mature Magnolia trees still exist, lining the street and creating a ''streetscape'' that is unique to Meier Street. Ain was part of the dynamic era in 20th century American architecture. He collaborated with many well known architects including Neutra, Schindler and Charles and Ray Eames. His homes are beloved and deeply appreciated by their owners and occupants. Ideally located in Mar Vista on a premium lot within the tract, this home is a true piece of Los Angeles history.
