Immediate move-in in Brentwood: sweeping ocean vistas enrich this rare surviving Mutual Housing Association mid-century original. A 1958 addition enlarged the original residence to 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Perfectly sited to capture unobstructed Pacific views with maximum privacy, the residence retains much of its original 1951 architectural finishes. These include painted Douglas-fir plywood paneling and built-ins, natural tongue-and groove redwood walls and its exposed post-and-beam structural frame. The skill with which the outdoors is drawn inside via west-facing walls of plate glass and smoothly sliding original steel-frame doors is unmistakable. The kitchen and primary bathroom have been elegantly upgraded (Miele appliances, frameless glass shower enclosure). Outdoors, facing out to the ocean are a grassy lawn, a concrete patio and a small separate office. A multi-purpose studio shelters a laundry area and extensive storage. Two uncovered parking spaces are retained at the entry, now with level 2 electric-car charger. Crestwood Hills' dog-friendly park is very close by (approximately 10 minutes by foot, 2 minutes by car).
