Designed by architect, historian, and artist Alson Clark as his personal residence, which he shared with his wife, this distinctive 1969 home marries the sensibilities and details of an earlier era with the volume, light, and principles of contemporary design. Masterfully sited to ensure privacy and serenity, the property spans nearly an acre in the coveted San Rafael neighborhood.Accessed by a private drive, the home slowly reveals itself. A striking, vibrantly painted Colonial pediment and a contemporary interpretation of a courtyard entry acknowledge architecture of the past while declaring that this is something quite different. Shingled siding and rectilinear forms contrast with a commanding reclaimed antique front door, underscoring the juxtaposition of historical details and modern thinking. Beyond the front door, Clark's mastery of form and light comes into focus. An interior brick pathway ascends toward a dramatic two-story wall of windows that fills the space with natural light. The first level features a dining room and an updated kitchen, both opening to a patio shaded by magnificent live oaks. Also on this level are a powder room and a spacious storage area that Clark used as his private studio. Central to the home's design is a remarkable staircase, where a gently curved wall reflects the changing light and elegantly captures shadow. Rustic brick treads ascend with a gentle rise, recalling the gracious stairways of Reginald Johnson and Roland Coate, architects Clark studied throughout his career. Here, his appreciation for Southern California's architectural heritage finds expression in a distinctly contemporary setting, transforming a functional staircase into a sculptural centerpiece. On the second level is the main entertaining space, where expansive windows frame the treetops and changing light animates the interior. It is a remarkable setting for gathering, perhaps hosting an intimate salon as the afternoon gives way to sunset. A loft-style primary suite overlooks the dramatic space, while a separate guest suite offers comfortable private accommodations. The story of this property extends well beyond its architecture. Nearly an acre of land offers room to dream of what might come next: a pool nestled among the trees, an ADU, or simply the pleasure of preserving this private setting. The possibilities invite imagination, while Clark's distinctive residence provides a compelling place from which to begin.
