Description
First offering: The Michell Residence, Joseph O. Michell (1960). As the architect stood on the eastern slope of Rancho Palos Verdes, awestruck by the panoramic vistas of city skyline, bustling harbor, majestic mountains, vast ocean expanse, and sketch of coastline as far as the eye can see- he knew that he had found the ideal location to build a forever home for his growing family. That vision came to life as an extraordinary example of mid-century modernism- informed not only by his studies at the USC School of Architecture, but also by an ethos of innovation and resourcefulness. A dramatic ceiling hung fireplace at the center of the open plan living room is one such example of the architect's ingenuity; it was formed from a repurposed culvert pipe, made to float above a 360 degree hearth of terrazzo mixed with colorful local abalone shells. Interior and exterior spaces feel seamless, with expansive walls of glass embracing the adjacent gardens, patios, and kidney shaped pool as well as framing the breathtaking distant views. Living spaces are bathed in natural light as the sun's path traverses the sky. Remaining almost entirely intact as built, the home is filled with distinctive original details: exposed aggregate concrete floors, bouquet stone walls, mosaic tile, floating cabinetry, radiant heated floors, and more. Directly adjacent to the 4 bd/2ba main residence is a separate 1bd/1ba casita with its own side yard entrance, providing excellent privacy for guests and/or longer term family stays. Every corner of the home tells a story of a family's love and dedication over six decades; you can feel the echoes of laughter, shared meals, and cherished memories that have shaped this space into more than just a house—it stands as a living, breathing time capsule of a life well-lived.
