Described as an "Authentic Genius" by Ansel Adams, Mark Mill's style evolved from Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West School in Arizona. Originally built in 1958, this Mid-Century Modern home on a 1.1 acre lot is now a larger 3 bedroom, 3 bath residence of 1727 square feet. The redwood-and-concrete ribbed, single level home evokes both the southwestern desert, and a mid-western farm. The abundant light admitted by the 9 massive windows is a classic Mills trademark; and during rain showers these windowpanes become wavy lenses as they direct sheets of water onto the garden. An added highlight are the hand-painted kitchen and bath tiles by noted ceramicist, Ephraim Doner. For auto fans, the property offers a barn-style garage with metal roll top door plus another 500 square foot workshop for auto storage. Includes an art studio, a greenhouse and raised garden beds. A special property from a special era that remains in vogue.
