Friday Four Hundred: Fabulously Restored Mid Century Mod Dollhouse in Mockingbird Hill

Share News:

6806 Vada DriveYou simply have to see this mid century modern jewel box in Lakewood. It’s a home that shows you what happens when you dare to bring in elements of modern 2014 design into a beautiful little house that is now a virtual show piece.

Did I say little? Yes, this home only has 1200 square feet, but every inch is so well designed. The attention to detail is mind blowing. For a single person or tidy couple, this is nirvana.

RE: tidy couple. Someday I’d like to explore the brains of people who live neatly. Like maybe we should even autopsy them after death. What makes them so wonderfully organized? Can you clone the gene? How the hec do you manage to keep a glass desk clutter-free?

Shaded sitting area gives way to a peaceful groomed side yard with more entertaining space. The back patio looks onto more landscaped beauty with place for grill and seating. Truly a unique find! Listed with the fabulous Tom Hughes of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s for $449,000.

And I just have to tell you the name of the home owner: Robert W. Small.
