About This Property
Discover this one-of-a-kind residence designed by renowned architect and USC graduate Kenneth Masao Nishimoto. Tucked behind privacy gates and mature hedging, this architecturally significant home offers privacy, tranquility, and timeless design. Originally built as a mother-in-law unit to the adjacent Craftsman home, the structure blends mid-century modern design with elegant Japanese influences. Clean lines, natural materials, and an open floor plan create a serene living experience with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The spacious lot provides multiple areas one can sit and enjoy the neighborhood's tranquility. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the home carries historical significance as a reflection of Nishimotos legacy and personal journey as a Japanese American who endured WWII internment. This is more than a homeit's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Southern Californias architectural history.
