permabear, your link (above) depicts a large contemporary (tract?) home with “Tuscan” or “Spanish” touches such as the large front entrance facade.
Is this what you consider of “modern” design or is what you REALLY want a “mid-century modern” but cannot find what you are looking for in the listings?[/quote]
Yes, sorry, we are definitely into mid-century modern. I probably confused things by including the link to a tract home. My point was that, in terms of size and cost, that tract home would fit the bill, BUT we are over the “design” of homes like that.
I’d seen Mercer York, very cool site. Mills Act is a good point that I had not thought of. What about the restrictions, though?
The challenge with most authentic mid-century modern homes is they tend to be in very expensive areas (La Jolla, Del Mar, etc), PLUS they command a premium, PLUS many of them are in disrepair. Pacifica in LJ/PB is the closest we’ve found, but the 5 fwy can be a bit overwhelming for many of the lots.
It’s sad because many mid-century homes have been torn down and replaced with Tuscan nonsense. For example, that Del Mar A-frame is marketed in the MLS as a teardown with 5000 sq ft Tuscan plans.
