Property Description
This exceptional Robert Swaim-designed mid-century modern home in Flecha Caida Ranch Estates pairs remarkable architectural preservation with extensive updates. A meticulous six-figure restoration enhances performance and comfort while preserving its architectural character. Original solid walnut built-ins and kitchen cabinetry are pristine, and original bathroom tile, fixtures, and countertops remain intact; parquet floors have been hand-sanded and finished. Currently configured with 2 bedrooms (plans show 3 if you divide the 2nd bedroom), the home includes an approx. 547 sf workshop with potential for conversion into guest space. The 1.3-acre lot features a freshly replastered pool and Jacuzzi, plus unobstructed panoramic city-light and Catalina Mountain views. Shown by appointment only.
