Baldwin Hills restoration embraces its midcentury roots
This sleek home practically struts its identity as Midcentury Modern. Upgraded and remodeled, the one-level house shows off its 1959 roots with pride. Spanish terrazzo, Italian cabinetry and walnut floors are among the upgraded materials used throughout. Walls of glass take in city light and mountain views, while rooftop solar panels gather energy from the sun.
