From the Agent: "Presenting the first offering of the Michell Residence. The interior and exterior spaces feel seamless, with expansive walls of glass framing breathtaking views and the adjacent gardens, patios, and kidney-shaped pool. The living spaces are bathed in natural light as the sun’s path traverses the sky. Almost entirely intact as built, the home is filled with distinctive original details: exposed aggregate concrete floors, bouquet stone walls, mosaic tile, floating cabinetry, radiant heated floors, and more."
The single-story home rests on a spacious green lot, surrounded by palm trees. Partition walls and a tall wooden fence provide ample privacy.

The original fireplace in the living room is made from a repurposed culvert pipe. It floats above a circular terrazzo hearth.
