Built in 1944, the Hobbit house is one of the first sustainable homes in California ... designed and built by "green" architect Carr Jones. All of the building materials were reused and recycled: all bricks are reminiscence from the 1908 earthquake in San Francisco, the wood was repurposed from old ships, and the metalwork is the product of old anchor chains.
The home is comfortably appointed with Jones’ trademark brickwork, unique roofing, radiant heated floors, and rusticated lumber. A truly spectacular example of amazing craftsmanship and creative design sensibilities.
The house is uniquely divided into two spaces, separated by a charming courtyard and pool. In the main house {2 story}, you will find the master loft bedroom, kitchen, with an open area downstairs. The second one-story building (1100. sq ft) has two bedrooms, a sitting area, with 2 fireplaces. and 1.5 bathrooms. Main Amenities Famous Architect Carr Jones Big windows Generous living room 25 MB internet Pool Pool Table Apple TV 5 TV's total Bar Outdoor dining and sitting area Parking (2 cars) Tesla Charging nearby Exterior monitors installed which may not invade privacy but for security purposes.
THIS IS AN OLD HOUSE. PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT THE MODERN BLINGS!!!
