For anyone still on the fence about mid-century modern, this one might be the game changer. When California did mid-century moderns they seemed lighter, brighter and more open to the elements due to the near perfect climate, opposed to those in the northern climes which were still accented with walls of glass but were more likely built of wood, requiring more maintenance due to climate change.

Still unchanged from its grand entry on the 1973 scene, every inch is worthy of a repeat of the six pages that House and Garden devoted to it that year.

The estate was built for venture capitalist Jerome Factor in 1969, who was also cousin to makeup magnate Max Factor and was the son of John Factor, proprietor of the Stardust Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Possibly learned from his convicted gangster father John, Jerome was big on privacy, explaining the windowless exterior and the extension of the 14-foot house wall enclosing the pool terrace. The house sits on the 13th fairway of the Indian Canyons Golf Resort and there is a large covered terrazzo terrace at the end of the house where the fairway can be viewed.

At 5,471-square-feet, the home is sited on just over a half acre and has three bedrooms and five baths. Furnishings include a perfect blend of both modern and fine antiques with displays of bold modern art and geometric rugs against a white background, all in pristine condition and which convey in the sale. The private master suite has opaque sliding doors, lounge and separate baths with walk-in closets and a steam shower. Also included are a guest suite or media room/office and third bedroom-staff quarters. All primary rooms overlook and have direct access to the walled wrap-around south-facing courtyard with private pool-spa that can be covered for dancing and a sit-down dinner for up to 300 guests.
