MCM Gem with 'Wow' Power - Page 2

"It was really nicely updated," Adelmann says of the renovation. "It's not like living in a time warp."

Well, it's not and it is. The most critical aspects of its MCM design remain: stained, tongue-and-groove ceilings; mahogany walls; cone lighting in the bedrooms; original cabinetry; a floating wood staircase; a gorgeous, aggregate fireplace; and grass cloth on several walls.

"They did nice, tasteful updates," says Adelmann. "They didn't hack anything, which is nice."

The house and surrounding gardens have also retained their Asian modernist feel, with Japanese shoji screen-style closet doors and Japanese maple trees.

Being in Sleepy Hollow is a plus too, with Adelmann observing, "It's a really nice, iconic, suburban neighborhood nestled into a hill."

In fact, possibly the house's greatest feature is its location, backing up against the Terra Linda-Sleepy Hollow Divide Northern Preserve. Another asset is its presence in the highly rated Ross School District. And yet another comes courtesy of the home's mid-century modernist styling: the walls of glass facing the rolling hills of mellow Marin.

"The views are incredible," says Adelmann. "It's a great house, just amazing."
