Hillside Hideaway | Mid-Century | Private Patio

Step inside an architectural gem at Hillside Hideaway I. This lower-level 2 bedroom, 1 bath home was designed by the renowned modernist architect Homer Delawie, a master of elegant simplicity and post-WWII design.

This home is a noteworthy and unique example of his iconic style.
