Ternstrom, FAIA, is a mid-century modern masterpiece brimming with the elegance and innovation of the era. John Bradley, purchased the home off-market in 1983 and in 2000, enlisted architect Tony Unruh, to seamlessly expand the residence. This thoughtful addition includes an airy family room/ guest suite, complete with a wall of windows and massive Fleetwood sliding doors. Harmoniously integrated with Ternstrom's original design, the expansion also features a stylish bar area, full bathroom, laundry room, and storage / machine room.
