Reese Residence #2
The project scope is to design a residence for Elizabeth Smith Reese (0000-0000). Ms. Reese is Director of Public Relations in charge of publicity and public relations at Raymond Loewy Associates and knows Andrew Geller from work.
Construction drawings are issued in August 1960.
The residence is constructed in 1963.
The property is sold for $180,000 USD on July 23, 1996.
The property is sold for $445,000 USD on September 07, 2000.
The property is sold for $640,000 USD on June 06, 2002.
The property is sold for $950,000 USD on October 07, 2011.
In 2012 the residence is gut renovated and redesigned by local designer John Bjornen, who updates all of the electrical and plumbing systems, interiors and the kitchen. According to John Bjornen, “The electricity and plumbing were replaced; new insulation, air-conditioning and heat were added, too so it could be a truly year-round house. The palette was cleansed and we re-replaced everything. The floors got a coat of white deck paint, and all the walls were done in china white, to make everything tailored and clean. We stained that outside dark to marry it to nature, in shades of black, grey, and green.”
The property is sold for $1,000,000 USD on January 15, 2013.
In 2018 a 7,250 ft² (673.5 m²) main residence with 7 bedrooms and 6.5 baths is constructed on the site by the Farrell Building Company.
The property is listed for sale for $6,750,000 USD on July 07, 2020
