Claremont, CA 91711

Set within one of Claremont’s most respected hillside neighborhoods, this architect-designed midcentury modern residence offers a rare opportunity to steward a true California original. The design of this home has been attributed to noted architect Fred W. McDowell. The home reflects a disciplined modernist vision defined by clean lines, thoughtful geometry, & an exceptional connection to its surroundings. With only two owners since construction, the property remains a remarkably intact expression of its era & intent. Floor-to-ceiling glass lines nearly every major living space, inviting natural light to move freely throughout the home while framing views of the surrounding landscape. The open & airy floor plan creates a seamless relationship between interior & exterior living, an ideal canvas for both everyday life & entertaining. A striking teak screen provides a sculptural division between the entry & living room, offering privacy while preserving visual flow & architectural integrity. The residence includes four bedrooms, with the fourth currently functioning as a flexible space featuring a Murphy bed & no closet, well-suited for a home office, studio, or guest room. The layout emphasizes proportion & clarity, allowing each room to feel purposeful & connected. Outdoors, a generous backyard & pool provide space to relax, gather, & reimagine outdoor living in a way that honors the home’s original design language. This property stands as a compelling time capsule, offering the rare chance to restore & elevate a historically significant home while respecting its architectural soul. It will appeal to a buyer with vision, discernment, & an appreciation for authentic midcentury design. The setting enhances the offering. Claremont is celebrated for its tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, & academic influence anchored by the Claremont Colleges, located just minutes away. The Village of Claremont offers a vibrant mix of dining, boutiques, & cultural destinations. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy nearby access to the Thompson Creek Trail, Higginbotham Park, as well as the Claremont Wilderness Park, & a hike to Johnson’s Pasture. Convenient proximity to the 210 freeway provides an easy commute & direct access to Los Angeles for work, dining, & entertainment.
