DETAILS
For the true midcentury modern enthusiast, this home is a rare architectural offering in the heart of the highly sought after Bohmann Park neighborhood, Rummer’s iconic and most concentrated enclave. This stunning residence is a masterclass in post-and-beam modernism, where structure and simplicity converge in perfect proportion. Beyond the saffron front door, you are greeted by a stunning open-air atrium, a Rummer staple, anchored by crisp geometric lines and an overhead skylight that floods the space with natural light. This atrium is the spatial heart of the home, with glass-wrapped corners and sliding glass doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Inside, dramatic planes of floor-to-ceiling glass climb to meet vaulted, tongue-and-groove wood ceilings throughout. This home features all of the classic elements Rummer lovers adore: radiant-heated concrete floors, post-and-beam construction, strategically placed skylights and a layout that perfectly blends functionality, design, and comfort. The living and dining rooms are radically oriented toward the backyard, anchored by a central wood-burning fireplace. Expansive sliding glass doors open directly to the backyard, blurring the lines between inside and out. The kitchen brings modern updates, adorned with rich teak cabinetry, sleek stainless-steel countertops, and an oversized island for gathering and prep. A walk-in pantry and adjacent family room with direct atrium access extends the space without compromising its original architectural rhythm. A hallway of glass runs alongside the atrium, leading to four bedrooms and two baths. The spacious primary suite features a clerestory window above its own sliding glass door, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious sunken Roman bath shower; a classic Rummer design element. At the end of the hall, a fourth bedroom could function beautifully as a dreamy home office, complete with a custom wall-mounted shelving system, cork-accent wall, and a sliding glass door that connects back to the atrium, providing inspiring views from every angle. The bathrooms blend artfully timeless design with modern updates: honed granite countertops, classic white tile, and well-crafted cabinetry. Original details abound, such as burlap-covered closet doors and vintage sconces, which add texture and nostalgia. Multiple rooms open to a tranquil backyard oasis framed by mature landscaping, including Japanese forest grass, bamboo, pines, and stately cedars. A minimalist deck provides the perfect spot for quiet mornings, outdoor lounging, or lively evening gatherings. Rummer homes are beloved for their architectural integrity, their enduring sense of style, and the way they harmonize with the environment. This home is no exception, a place where modernism isn’t just aesthetic, but a way of living. For those who see architecture as art, this is a space to fall in love with.
