A spacious, midcentury modern home in San Luis Obispo\u2019s<\/a> coveted San Luis Drive neighborhood is for sale. The five-bedroom house at 1750 Alta Street<\/a> was listed a little more than a month ago for $2,187,000.<\/p>\n

Built in 1969 by modernist architect Warren Leopold<\/strong>, the home retains much of its original design\u2014including hardwood flooring throughout and multiple redwood decks.<\/p>\n

The light-filled, open-concept great room boasts 12-foot ceilings and exposed redwood beams. Best of all, though, the place comes with views of the Cerro San Luis and Bishop\u2019s Peak mountains.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include a formal dining area, kitchen with dining booth, and built-in seating area surrounding a wood-burning, retro fireplace on a rotating pedestal. The lower level includes a redwood-paneled bonus room with an atrium and glass doors that lead out to a hot tub.<\/p>\n

Beyond the home\u2019s luminous interiors, its .25-acre lot offers unparalleled outdoor privacy. Perched on a hill at the end of a cul-de-sac, the house is tucked behind mature foliage.<\/p>\n

Mandarin, orange, and grapefruit trees, along with a rose garden, create a lush and serene exterior. And the inviting abode is situated delightfully close to downtown San Luis Obispo.<\/p>\n

Leopold, a graduate of California College of Arts and Crafts, was a true artist and craftsman. His work was largely influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After retiring from the Army in 1948, Leopold moved to Big Sur<\/a> with the dream of meeting writer Henry Miller<\/strong>. But the encounter went further than that: Not long after meeting the famous author, Leopold found himself working alongside sculptor Gordon Newell<\/strong> to build a new studio addition on Miller\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Leopold continued to keep the company of renowned creative. A few years later, he befriended one of Wright\u2019s students, Rowan Maiden, <\/strong>designer of the famed Nepenthe\u00a0restaurant.<\/p>\n

Leopold has designed hundreds of homes along Big Sur and the Central Coast. His portfolio is considered to be part of the organic school of architecture, a term originated by Wright. Leopold\u2019s signature designs are homes without right angles and spaces with glass pyramid skylights, which can still be found in the San Luis Obispo home, the listing notes.<\/p>\n

Since its original construction, 1750 Alta Street<\/a> has received several notable upgrades, including a new roof, solar panels, and all-new electric, heating, and cooling systems.<\/p>\n

The kitchen and bathrooms have also been carefully renovated to provide more modern comforts to the next owners.<\/p>\n
