[Original Post]:
17061 Strawberry Drive
4 Beds/4 Baths on 3,368 sqft on a total lot size of 0.36 acres built in 1964. This home was designed by the architectural firm Benton Park but I am not sure who commissioned them. This home was previously listed on February 28, 2013 for $1,549,000 and has since been bumped up to $1,629,000 on June 1, 2013. The home was previously purchased on October 21, 2003 for $1,330,000.
There isnt much available on the internet regarding Benton/Park but I believe they also designed the 70's disco turned Las Vegas circular home in Encino which recently sold for around $1.9 million on July 28, 2011.
The listing description states:
Why vacation in Palm Springs when you can live in a Mid Century Modern view home overlooking your own sparkling pool? Dramatic Benton/Park designed one level Architectural has floor to ceiling walls of glass allowing for light-filled rooms which gives a very indoor/outdoor feel. It has extraordinary mountain and city light views, perfect for entertaining! This 4 Bed/4 Bath plus family room home has the characteristic open floor plan with a 'museum style' hallway with plenty of wall space for art. Gorgeous terrazzo coupled with pebble finished floors run throughout the house. George Nelson would be proud.You can view more SFV Architecture and Real Estate here.
