Offered for the first time since its construction in 1968, the Kvaas Residence is a remarkable Mt. Helix home designed by architect Hal Sadler, resting on 1.12 acres among a mature grove of olive trees with sweeping northeastern mountain views. Encompassing 3,242 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home is a distinctive expression of California modernism, where sculptural architecture and natural surroundings meet. A dramatic arched entry introduces gallery-like interiors and a monumental floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace. Beyond, the sunken living room unfolds beneath soaring arched windows, framing treetops and distant mountains. Expansive walls of glass and louvered windows invite light and air while connecting the interiors to the landscape. Views extend across the grounds to distant ridgelines. Original brass fixtures, an atrium-adjacent sunken bathtub, walk-through closets, warm wood finishes and custom built-ins reveal the craftsmanship and thoughtful design of its era. An extraordinary bonus media room features a sweeping, slatted walnut ceiling, burled walnut cabinetry and a built-in leather sofa. The kitchen's own fireplace lends warmth to an adjoining flexible office, sitting and dining area. Redwood decking, multiple terraces, a courtyard and a fire pit invite quiet mornings and evenings under the trees. This architectural property presents potential for Mills Act historic preservation tax benefits. An opportunity to thoughtfully preserve and restore a one-of-a-kind home, honoring its original architectural vision while shaping its next chapter.
