We are extremely pleased to see this home back on the market and in such good shape. A couple of years ago it was listed as an empty lot and we were fearful that it would become another victim of the tear down and rebuild epidemic which has claimed a number of beautiful mid-century homes in Danville over the last few years. This particular example was designed by George Homsey quite early in his career but it already demonstrates his typically elegant and understated detailing. Homsey is widely credited as one of the founders of Third Bay Region design along with his partner Joseph Esherick but this home displays none of the revolutionary features that would become the trademarks of their practice just a few years later. It is a great early example by one of the area’s most respected local architects.
- Edificionado is an Oakland-based real estate brokerage specializing in architecturally and historically significant homes. The listings we feature here are those that have recently caught our eye due to their provenance or exceptional state of preservation. We select them without regard to size, price, or location and in general we are not the listing broker, so we have no stake in their being posted here. As we are based in Oakland, most of the homes will be in the East Bay, though we may throw one in from elsewhere in the Bay Area from time to time. If you would like to visit any of these homes, or receive a personalized list of properties more tailored to your specific requirements and tastes please contact Christian Olson at colson@edificionado.com or at 510 686 3343.
