- Share via
Giving the appearance of a low-slung single-story from the street, this Harold Bissner-designed Midcentury Modern holds a surprise out back. Two levels with walls of glass and vaulted-ceiling rooms look out onto a stone-surrounded swimming pool area complete with changing rooms.
Among Bissner’s well-known homes was PBS legend Huell Howser’s Volcano House in Newberry Springs.
