Midcentury authority: Buff, Straub & Hensman, 1959. The Thompson Moseley House in San Marino checks every box—classic post-and-beam structure, clerestory windows, floating rooflines, and walls of glass framing the half-acre lot.
Inside, Space Int’l’s careful modernization brings in updated systems, while honoring original details like custom millwork, period lighting, and built-in seating. Architecture like this doesn’t come around often—and rarely this intact.?
The Thompson Moseley House — a quintessential example of midcentury modern architecture, designed by the renowned firm Buff, Straub & Hensman. Built circa 1959, this iconic post-and-beam residence, complete with a detached guest house and pool, is nestled within a gated compound on over half an acre in the lush surroundings of San Marino.
Defined by soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, and expansive walls of glass, the home is bathed in natural light and offers a seamless connection to its tranquil outdoor setting. A thoughtful renovation by Space International preserves the architectural integrity while integrating modern systems for effortless living and entertaining.
Attention to detail is evident throughout, from bespoke millwork and vintage-inspired lighting to the warm textures of tile, brick, and built-in furnishings. With three bedrooms, a guest suite, and a generous, flowing layout, the home offers flexibility for a range of lifestyles.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history that functions as a contemporary home—private and serene, yet just minutes from the shops, cafés, and markets of South Lake Avenue, including Erewhon. San Marino Thompson Moseley House by Buff, Straub & Hensman.
