Richard Neutra – The Auerbacher Home. 1952 MidCentury Modern home designed by famed architect Richard Neutra. This 2,183 square foot, 4 Bedroom 2 Bath home on 1.9 acres sits above the Redlands Country Club golf course in Redlands, California. Infused with MidCentury details throughout. This is the first ever offering of this property. Believed to be the only Neutra home still in the family that originally commissioned it, the family of Frederick and Mary Jane Auerbacher. As such it has not been “improved” by subsequent owners and is just as Neutra designed it with very few changes or renovations. The home sale will include all the furniture designed or specified by Neutra for the dwelling. The home was also added to the National Register of Historical Places in 2012. Also believed to be the first Neutra home that featured wood interior paneling. Inside the living room you will find the signature floor to ceiling sliding glass walls, mixed with wood panel walls and tongue and groove Redwood ceilings. The covered terrace and glass walls combine indoor with outdoor, placing man in relationship to nature. Comfortable and functional the living room was originally commissioned as a “music box”, as the original Owner often held small concerts as well as music lessons at the home. Besides the provenance of being a MidCentury Neutra designed home you will find seclusion, privacy and views are all accounted for. What is even more fantastic is the original blueprints and spec book which show all materials to build the home down to the wood finishes and nails used. To the true architectural enthusiast this is profound! Redlands is a prosperous and architecturally delightful city some 45 minutes west of Palm Springs in the foothills between Palm Springs and Los Angeles. Do not miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity!
