Past Nuccio's Nursery off of Alta Loma along a California chaparral road is a serene enclave of highly customized homes. If you turn off your motor; you will hear an unusual sound. The sound of silence. You are within a few miles of a road, but you might as well be in a secluded area of paradise. This is a fixer home that has some of the most elegant architectural styling you will see in L.A. It is not designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, but it looks like it. This mid-century modern has an atrium from the entry door to the home. The home needs love. It has had a leaky roof that has caused issues in the interior space. As you look through the pictures you can see the bones of an amazing treasure. This piece of gold has some soil on it. Underneath the soil is one of the most graceful California mid-centuries you will find. The manager has listed the unit size as 1582 square feet.
