Ease yourself past the iconic breeze block to reach the front door and usher yourself into a magnificently curated showcase of midcentury design at Casa Gia.

The original room divider brings you in past the kitchen and presents the open plan living area with floor to ceiling glass before you and natural beamed ceilings.

In the lounge, the original 1980s Roche Bobois sectional couch, Atelier de Troupe oval glass coffee table and 'Pastil' fiberglass bubbly chair by Eero Aarnio sit magnificently on the Atelier de Troupe designed CC Tapis rug. They complete a clean but cozy look where you’ll feel immediately comfortable, while lighting by Gae Aulenti and Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni set the scene at night.

The nearby dining area features a stylish 4-seater Atelier de Troupe dining table and 4 chairs, sitting perfectly under the 'Compas' drop pendant by the same designer. This is nicely situated adjacent to the remodeled and fully-stocked kitchen where three wicker Dirk Van Sliedregt barstools frame the counter. The kitchen cabinetry meanwhile pairs perfectly with the wooden tongue and groove ceilings giving you that organic old school feel.

For accommodations, Casa Gia features three super stylish bedrooms that continue the high design aesthetic…

The primary bedroom features back yard views and a magnificently soft king bed, flanked by Eero Saarinen’s 'Pedestal' night stands, a chrome Atelier de Troupe table lamp and 'Parentesi Suspension' wire floor lamp by Achille Castiglioni. You’ll also find a unique Noguchi-inspired white metal chair and the iconic ‘Marema' plastic stacking tables by Gianfranco Frattini. The bedroom’s en-suite with its striking grey tiles gives you a sunken bath and shower, vanity, and toilet.

The queen bedroom features a queen bed with 100% cotton percale Brooklinen linens, sitting nicely under the seven prints that make up the ‘Pools’ series by artist Benjamin Critton for Norma. The bed is accompanied by the clean lines of lucite nightstands with Vernon Paton 'Flowerpot VP3' white table lamps, and the Eames fiberglass chair.

This bedroom utilizes the nearby hallway bathroom where the ‘Pools’ wall art continues accompanied by a Eames wire base low table, while giving you a walk-in shower with classic neutral-toned mosaic tiles, plus vanity, and toilet.

The twin bedroom presents a classic mid-century layout with its custom designed corner table and twin beds, made by Michael McConnell for Atelier de Troupe. Here you’ll also find a 1970s Danish table lamp, plus wall art featuring a vintage Oaxacan wool weaving, and a pencil on paper piece by artist Cody Hoyt.

Heading outside, you’ll take in a magnificent yard full of wonderful options for outdoor desert activities, all accompanied by the clean lines of 'Locus Solus' furniture designed by Gae Aulenti.

The breeze block framed, large heated (upon request) pool is the centerpiece, with ample sun lounges surrounding it, some under the convenient shade-giving pergola. Down one end of the pool is a cute ‘cafe style’ sitting area, while the opposite side of the pool is where you’ll find the bocce court for endless hours of competition. There’s also a uniquely designed fire pit area with its log stools and circular white seating.

Adjacent to the house is the dining area under the covered patio, with a sophisticated looking 6-seater white dining set, and a gas grill just around the corner where you can prepare a well-designed feast worthy of this house’s inimitable style. Bocce Ball Court for more outdoor fun!

There are two surveillance cameras, one above the front door, facing away from the front door toward the carport and street. The other camera is on the east side of the house, faces away from the home, and covers the east side of the front yard.

Guests have full, private access to the single-level home and its grounds, including the fully fenced backyard, pool, patio, bocce court, fire pit, kitchen, laundry, and EV charger. A private entrance, self check-in via smart lock, carport on-premises parking, and free street parking are available.

The Host with the Most Team can be available for anything you need & will greet you in person within 24 hours of your arrival. This is a city requirement.

This home is self check-in and setup with everything you need to relax and unwind.

We are available as needed but you will be left to enjoy this space as if it is your own during your stay.
