Unmistakable Carter Sparks. This custom mid-century modern home was designed by Carter Sparks for his UC Berkeley classmate Dewey Raski in 1966. Set on a 26,000 square foot Westwood lot. As you approach, the entrance gradually reveals itself, creating a deliberate sense of intrigue and discovery. Rich vertical-grain wood siding, landscape lighting, floating decks, and seamless corner windows offer subtle glimpses into the interior while maintaining the home's quiet, understated presence. Original minimalist spatial composition creates a harmonious flow from the moment you step into the property. Floating walls create fluidity as you step inside where the ceiling ascends to frame a large center skylight. The sculptural floor-to-ceiling chimney is a dramatic as the conversation pit is inviting. Recessed halo uplighting gently illuminates the common area, while Japanese-inspired pendant lanterns offer additional lighting and architectural detail. Signature details are mirrored inside and out. This home showcases Carter Sparks' blend of California modernism and Japanese-inspired restraint. Extended eaves, exposed rafters, recessed uplighting, and custom detailing create layered texture and atmosphere, while slatted privacy screens reinforce the home's serene, minimalist aesthetic. Patios and decks wrap the structure, extending living spaces into the surrounding gardens and framing the seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Deep overhangs soften sunlight and frame curated landscape views, while the home's low-slung lines remain distinctly modern decades later. This property offers exceptional privacy and a rare architectural pedigree. With three bedrooms, two baths, and approximately 1,876 square feet, this home is ideal for those who appreciate true mid-century modern architecture: minimalist, understated, integrated.
