An archival photo of Boulder Crest’s exterior.

Jade-hued concrete floors span from the living room to the kitchen.

The interiors merge arroyo stonework and old growth redwood with post-and-beam construction.

The home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Other amenities, according to the listing, include a pool, subterranean workshop, and wine cellar.

Tall windows and sliding glass doors connect the upstairs living area to the outdoors.

The front door opens to the step-down living room.

Altadena’s Boulder Crest home blends Arts and Crafts elements with midcentury-modern architecture.

Clad in zinc, stucco, cedar, and glass, Tree House by Aidlin Darling Design is a slender, two-story home composed of interlocking rectangular volumes, and fronted with a low-lying garage.

The 5,870-square-foot home gracefully stretches in a linear fashion from the front to the back of the lot. It rests atop a concrete plinth—a response to the site's high water table.

The home’s concrete floors, wood ceilings, and glazed expanses strengthen its connection with the outdoor landscape.

A contemporary Lindsey Adelman chandelier hangs elegantly in the living room, complementing the dark furnishings and sleek finishes.

The richly textured wooden staircase lined with glazed banisters contrasts beautifully with the interior ivory walls and concrete floors.

A larger Lindsey Adelman chandelier hangs in the foyer, located off the double-height entryway.

A glass-walled balcony sits directly above the concrete terrace.

By balancing the light from a variety of sources and ensuring that every corner was illuminated, Terry Ohm increased the feeling of expansiveness in the 12-and-a-half-by-14-foot kitchen.
