Property Description
History, style and a whole lot of opportunity await at this exceptionally rare Mid-Century Modern home in Newport Beach. Hidden at the end of a long tree-lined driveway, the extra-private residence is one of the only Case Study homes with standing designs in Orange County, and just one of two in the county produced by celebrated American modernist architect Calvin C. Straub. Straub made a significant impact on architecture as both a designer and an educator. His modesty, confidence, passion for life, and no-nonsense approach resonated with a generation that, like himself, came of age in the World War II era. A popular professor of architecture, Straubs influence is felt to this day. Incorporating the many iconic design cues of MCM design, this home was built in 1956 and presents a canvas on which to imprint todays contemporary style. With an expansive floorplan extending approximately 3,065 square feet and an equally generous homesite embracing almost .45 acres, the residence offers virtually unlimited opportunities. Return it to its original Case Study roots, improve it with luxe upgrades, or rearrange it to suit the lifestyles of 2023. Currently, the homes step-down bonus room, family room, office spaces, three bedrooms and three baths provide a solid foundation on which to create a design that will continue its legacy of showcasing how carefree and stylish modern living can be.
