cool homes

[AlpiNord]

I haven't followed the whole thread, but no cool home thread is complete without some Greene and Greene homes from after the turn of the last century. While not quite as famous as Wright, I like their work much more.

The Gamble House



the Blacker House



The Cole House



All in Pasadena, but they designed about 100 homes mostly in California, Portland, and I think Seattle. Photos do not do justice to these "little" bungalows. The interiors are even more fantastic.

BTW, the Gamble House was Doc Brown's home in "Back to the Future."

Yeah! I gravitated towards Greene & Greene, craftsman style along with Japanese way back when. ‘Who wouldn’t want to live in a house like that’ was my mentality.

Too bad they are all in Pasadena. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley, and am glad I don't live there anymore. Back in the 10's and 20's the place must have been unfucking believable. Probably one of the greatest places on earth, Now, no so much. I've been hike the hills above Pasadena, Altadena, Sierra Madre again (did it a lot in my formative years), and am always amazed at just how great an area it is(was), and could be again with about 5 million less people.

I’m not generally a fan, but that one seems to address my issue, which is the darkness and claustrophobia I get in a typical A-frame.

exactly- they are rarely done well but that one was light and airy (only 1200 sq ft too) I like the little greenhouse window too.
I just love em as the quintessential ski bum home

At the entrance to Powder Mill Park. Driven by it thousands of times. We hung out there in hs. Good sledding hill and great memories. That house is awesome and I’ve always wanted to go in.

Wow, forgot all about that house. And Powdermill Park for that matter. Cool

[iceman]

Imagine the carpenters and masons and whatnot building it. "The fuck are we building?" "No clue."

Powder Mills Park. My very first lift served skiing was on the rope tow. The ski jump they built in 1938 was still there. Still has a rope tow on 100' of vert I think and a lot of groomed XC trails. The only time I had my bell rung while skiing was on those XC trails.

Been spending time in pacific heights lately, could wander this neighborhood for a long time.
So many incredible houses.

There was a mag like 10 years ago that fixed up an a-frame up by Baker. Had this super awesome stone stairway up to a deck in front, tucked in the forest all PNW style. Super cool.

Edit: I even started a thread about it. Forgot it was PNWBrit's place. Photos appear to be gone though but it was awesome.

This is pretty much my dream in retirement. Cool little a-frame, nice BMW wagon, in ski country. Unless the knees go out, then its time to set sail with Capt Morgan.

nice, that's mine too. there are some on the east side of main street in Breckenridge that might fit that I had been looking at that I thought were affordable, considering they were in Breckenridge as everyone wants a house on the west side because it's closer to the slopes. it's 50/0 on that or somewhere in new England, my non ski favorite area.

^I'd live in that place no problem
I might fall down that mesmerizing staircase though

[Bobby Stainless]

Link gave me a seizure. That's been on the market for a few years.

I'd want more than a 1/4 of a city block for my 30m.

The current owners bought the home from the Gettys in 2015 for $12.5 million with the intention of renovating and selling it.

You hillbillies need more room for your moonshine, weed and cars on blocks.

Im thinking they would take 30 for this.

$30M and you have a SHARED bocce court?

Phffttt ... fuck that.

I'd like to find a buildable lot in the right area. I'd put up one of these (a) and live/work in it for a year while I build (b) the main home then this would be the office or guest house.

a (but with a bigger deck)


b (across the drive)
