7006 Stockton Drive

Iconic Bruce McCarty ''concrete house'' once visited by 60,000 people is now available. Built by the famed architect as part of the 1955 Parade of Homes, this property was ''a system believed never before used in residential construction in this country''. Brilliant design & craftsmanship created a concrete roof structure, precast concrete bents, and block walls; the ingenuity of design gives one the incredible feeling of lightness provided by large windows that span the entire home on both sides. Beginning in 2006 the current owners began a complete renovation & have continued to improve every aspect of the property. Upon entering one experiences a central fireplace as the heart of the home; the kitchen, living, and dining areas define ''open concept''. High-end Miele/Bosch appliances, expansive counter space, gas cooktop & abundant storage make this the kitchen for an avid cook. The Master bedroom expanded during initial renovations features a large walk-in closet, laundry area & private fireplace. The main house boasts a spa-like bathroom with heated tile floors, floating double vanity, heated towel bar, soaking tub & walk-in steamer shower. The additional bedroom was designed as a small suite separate from the main living area with a private bath & view of the meticulously landscaped rear yard. As intended by the architect, this home is meant to envelop you in nature, blurring the distinction between outside and inside. Surrounded by lush plantings, a modern waterfall feature ending in a small pond, an in-ground saltwater pool & a covered seating area with extended patio space, this yard is the perfect "escape" from the day to day. Specially designed for the gardener, there is a small potager, sitting area & a greenhouse where one's dreams can grow. By appointment only; agent/owner; pre-approval prior to showing required; the owner needs occupancy until July 3rd.
