About

Wohlstetter House c.1953

Architect : : Josef Van Der Kar

Landscape : : Garret Eckbo

Retreat from it all in a Mid-Century Masterpiece. Discreetly sited down a private driveway behind hedges and gates lies a pedigreed compound of exceptional character and quality.

Designed in 1953 by unsung mid-century hero Josef Van Der Kar for intellectual luminaries, this iconic property has been extensively photographed, studied, and published for its innovative architecture and landscape.  Recently restored with upgraded systems, the main structure offers a quintessential mid-century expression of indoor/outdoor living and open floor plan.

Enter into a warm wood-paneled open living space with fireplace overlooking botanical gardens. Gourmet kitchen with top of the line fixtures and appliances.  Dining, living and master bedroom all open out to several hundred square feet of fully re-engineered ironwood deck. A guest room enjoys it own private garden terrace. Descend the spiral staircase into a garden level bedroom and sitting room. Immerse in the lush and private landscape through original large pane sliding doors. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in the main house.

Guest House studio with walnut floors, kitchenette, chevron cabinetry, and Mondrian motif bath. 

Generous grounds include sun-drenched original Garrett Eckbo pool deck and garden, lush pond pavilion with sleeping porch, timber bamboo forest, and azalea garden/citrus grove.
