The home
About 1600 Galaxy Drive
Hollywood Hills or Palm Springs Neutra-style home at the beach. This architectural gem was custom designed by Geo R. Wiseman, AIA, and draws inspiration from the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie-style movement. The mid-century modern flair remains timeless with large walls of glass, voluminous ceilings, and striking open spaces that flow into one another. Entry via the gated courtyard and garden and the near 2-story front door never fails to impress. Once inside, a large parlor/library/office that opens to the garden welcomes you to this Zen-like home. Huge views of Back Bay, Fashion Island, and Newport Coast and Saddleback Mountain are your's from the living, family, kitchen and dining rooms. Sliders lead to two separate decks for you to take in the fresh air and spectacular views. A secluded and luxurious master suite from a bygone era with fireplace, walk-in closet, and bath with Jacuzzi tub and sauna enjoys its own access to two private courtyard spaces. A separate wing holds three additional bedrooms and two baths, along with a laundry room. The 3-car garage and workshop affords room for your cars, hobbies, or beach toys for use at your Dover Shores private beach and BBQ area. This is a rare gem worthy of a respectful modernization.
