Welcome to this exquisite mid-century modern home, a perfect blend of historical significance and contemporary luxury, situated in the serene Netherwood Park / Nob Hill neighborhood. This architectural gem, originally designed by the renowned architect Harvey Hoshour, is now renovated and available as a high-end furnished rental.
Architectural Excellence / Innovative Design
Designed and built in 1969 by Hoshour, a disciple of Mies van der Rohe, this home shows the best of mid-century modern and modernist design. The property is divided into two living pavilions, creating distinct public and private spaces, linked by a stunning glassed-in foyer. Elevated on a pair of pilotis, the rectilinear design gives the impression of floating above the earth, enhancing the sense of spaciousness and light. Some on the street call it “The Treehouse.”
