From the agent: “Architect Donald Olsen was a disciple of the founding father of the Bauhaus College, Walter Gropius, and designed 735 Cragmont in 1956 on the peak of his creative profession. His strict adherence to crisp iconic modular white buildings stood other than fellow architects designing within the Bay Space custom, whose homes largely featured rustic pure woods. Modest and on the identical time monumental, Olsen’s dedication to planning, effectivity, pure gentle, and visible framing of the adjoining panorama, create a magical residence. Watch the lights of San Francisco because the fog rolls in via the Golden Gate Bridge and envelopes the realm beneath. Surrounded by an expansive backyard in entrance and an intimate backyard within the rear, this home is a treasure to be lived in.”
