Thanks to a complete revamp, this midcentury gem now has a fresh new look.

The facade features a clean and classic midcentury profile.

Beautifully renovated, the home has excellent curb appeal with low maintenance landscaping.

The meticulously landscaped front yard is low maintenance and features drought tolerant plants and a sprinkler system.

The house faces north and slightly west. The living spaces and the master bedroom overlook city and mountain views.

Aalto designed Maison Louis Carré with an immense lean-to roof made of blue Normandy slate, "pitched in imitation of the landscape itself". The facade is built from white bricks and marble, while the base and parts of the walls are Chartres limestone.

The pared-back approach of the remodel begins with the front entry, where horizontal bands of orange-toned cedar were replaced with a refined wood screen.

Beams extend out over the facade, creating a pergola effect.
