Lifestyle & Design Features

Step through the understated exterior and privacy wall, and the home immediately opens into light-filled living spaces that reveal sweeping 180-degree views—stretching from Mt. Baldy to Catalina Island.

The interiors are true to their Midcentury Modern roots:

• Vaulted post-and-beam ceilings with warm wood tones

• Original ribbon mahogany cabinetry and doors

• Cinder block walls and horizontal siding that extend indoors for a seamless connection with nature

• Sunken living room with centerpiece fireplace crafted in Wrightian tradition

• Clerestory, triangle, and corner-butted windows that flood each space with natural light

The chef’s kitchen blends period-specific details with modern updates, including a Gaggenau cooktop, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a mirrored wet bar. The primary suite offers a spa-like bath with jetted tub, walk-in shower, Hansgrohe fixtures, and a custom walk-in closet.

Nearly 2,500 sq. ft. of wraparound Ironwood decking provides multiple outdoor living and entertaining spaces, all oriented toward the horizon. The private pool, tucked into the natural hillside, feels serene and organic rather than showy—a true nod to Wright’s philosophy of building in harmony with nature.

The Cowan Heights Lifestyle: History & Community

Clearview Lane sits in Cowan Heights, one of North Tustin’s most sought-after enclaves. Known for its large custom estates and winding hillside roads, Cowan Heights developed in the mid-20th century as an escape from suburban sprawl. Many homes here, like this one, reflect architectural experimentation of the 1960s and 70s.

Living here means more than just a view:

• Peters Canyon Regional Park is minutes away, offering hiking, biking, and equestrian trails.

• The community is zoned to Foothill High, Hewes Middle, and Arroyo Elementary—all highly rated schools.

• Locals enjoy the neighborhood’s quiet, estate-like feel while still being close to dining in Old Towne Orange, Tustin Marketplace, and Orange Circle.

• Fun fact: Cowan Heights once sat on citrus groves, and many properties—including this one—still feature mature landscaping and rare specimen trees planted in the 1960s.

Market Scarcity & Investment Appeal

Midcentury Modern homes are in extremely high demand across Southern California, and authentic architectural examples rarely hit the market in Orange County. Combine that with panoramic city-to-coastline views, a large usable lot, and preserved original details, and this property represents a once-in-a-decade opportunity. For buyers seeking both architectural significance and lifestyle luxury, this is a blue-chip investment that’s poised to hold and grow in value.
