The Crowder House, Crowder & Associates (1964). Developed originally as a vacation home for the architect's own family, its design fully embraced the tenets of the mid-century modern era from which it came. It reveals itself to be as forward looking and timeless as the day it was built. The current owners undertook a multi-year renovation of the home's systems and finishes to bring it into the future. A refined palette of natural materials were carefully chosen and carried throughout: brick flooring, custom-built walnut cabinetry and paneling, and a gridwork of ceramic tile and concrete block walls. The home's clear expression of structure, sophisticated use of volume and space, and expansive walls of glass connecting it to the outdoors and distant views all provide for daily inspiration. The house turns it back to the street and towards these views, utilizing clerestory windows and a well organized plan to provide natural light and open space without sacrificing privacy. The open plan of interior spaces are allowed to seamlessly intertwine with vast outdoor areas for entertaining and play. System updates included central HVAC, upgraded plumbing & electrical, lighting design, dual pane glazing, Gaggenau appliances, built-in Bowers Wilkins home audio system, and an extensive renovation of exterior spaces including the pool, spa, built-in bbq area, landscape, and hardscape. Located in a private and stunning hilltop setting- with panoramic views of Dana Point Harbor, city lights, and the surrounding coastal landscape. A rare opportunity to live within architectural history, well situated in one of Southern California's most idyllic locations.
