The exterior now boasts a modern resort like experience.Being a history enthusiast, it was very important to the owner to keep as much of the original essence of this beautiful and unique midcentury home. The pool and patio were redone to follow the same shapes, curvatures and lines that the original exterior had had, while completely updating and modernizing all of the hardscape with luxury outdoor kitchen, firepit and furnishings. The owner also went to great lengths to restore and refresh all of the home’s interior original qualities. You will notice many of these vintage features throughout the house, in particular the bathrooms, kitchen, patio sliding doors and beautiful brick walls. And one of the most special features being the custom made propeller shaped brass light switches that Howard Hughes had made to be put on the floor so that he would not have to touch light switches due to his germophobia. Though they are for decoration only (still in their original places), these also have been also been painstakingly and passionately restored by the owner, giving a very tangible feel of Howard Hughes’ presence in this house.Pool and Spa heating $175 per day.Spa heating only 50$ per day.
