Val Powelson’s Astral Drive Residence is a fine example of a Nichols Canyon Mid Century Modern home. The home was designed by Powelson as his personal residence in 1954 and features clean lines, an open floor plan, and plenty of windows to let in the beautiful California sunshine. The home has been thoughtfully updated with a second story, with the original design intent still evident throughout.
The home’s current owners have lived here for over 34 years, and they have always been committed to honoring Powelson’s vision while also upgrading and expanding the property in a sensitive modern way. Powelson’s light-filled style has floor-to-ceiling windows and a beamed tongue-and-groove ceiling. Views of greenery fill every room, and the backyard has a view west over the canyon.
The living room is perfect for entertaining guests with ample seating and a gas fireplace. If you’re a musical person, there’s also enough room piano in the room! The second story of the house can be accessed via a staircase from the living room.
The floor-to-ceiling glass in the dining room offers stunning views of the outdoors, making it easy to enjoy nature. Whether you’re watching the sunset or enjoying a meal with friends, you’ll always have a front-row seat.
The grounds are glorious, complete with a sparkling pool, separate hot tub, boulder-piled waterfall, and fish pond. The diverse array of plant life on the property provides a beautiful and ever-changing landscape. Mature trees and shrubs create a stunning backdrop for colorful flowers and provide much-needed shade in the summer months.
