A rare architectural offering in Altadena's coveted President Streets, 2279 Midwick Drive is a striking mid-century post-and-beam residence built by noted architects Robert Franklin Gordon and Kenneth Arthur Gordon. Full modernist design, this home exemplifies essential elements: clean lines, dramatic volume, and a seamless dialogue between indoors and out. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, expansive walls of glass, and a central floor to ceiling double-sided fireplace anchors the living and dining spaces with sculptural presence. The custom kitchen is a true original, richly detailed and unmistakably one-of-a-kind, both in layout and execution. The primary suite occupies a private wing, complete with a library retreat, an ensuite bath, and a secluded patio that gazes out across a glistening, rock-edged pool. The secondary wing houses three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, designed with both spatial harmony and architectural integrity. Outside, a rock-edged pool integrates organically with the natural setting, framed by lush, mature landscaping and the iconic lines of the home itself. A versatile bonus space provides room for a creative studio, gym, or office - all beneath the same design-forward roofline. This is not just a home, it's an experience of the rare, the authentic, and the architecturally significant integrity of post-and-beam architecture.
