Tucked away on a quiet corner lot in the Covina Hills, the Flores Residence is a custom Mid-Century Modern home designed in 1961 by E. J. Samaniego & Associates for its original owners. Carefully restored while staying true to its original design, it remains a rare example of authentic Mid-Century… Read More architecture. The neighborhood is quiet and private, yet just minutes from shopping, parks, and everyday conveniences.
Walk through the front door and the first thing you’ll notice is the double-sided fireplace that anchors both the living and dining rooms. The home’s original character is evident throughout—from the single-pitch roofline, post-and-beam construction, vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, and clerestory windows to the rich wood paneling extends throughout the home, including a decorative breeze-block screen that separates the living area from the bedroom hallway, filtering natural light deep into the interior. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that’s rarely found today.
Walls of glass, natural stone, indoor planters, and a private open-air atrium blur the line between indoors and outdoor, filling the home with natural light while keeping every living space connected to the landscape beyond. Set on a 22,651-square-foot lot with 3,043 square feet of living space, the home was designed to embrace Southern California’s indoor-outdoor way of living.
The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and an original sunken soaking tub that retains its iconic 1960s form, paired with newly remodeled tile. The suite also opens to its own private garden framed by a decorative breeze-block wall, adding privacy while showcasing a classic Mid-Century design element.
The kitchen was completely rebuilt with rift-sawn white oak cabinetry in a custom stain, Carrara marble counters, clay brick flooring, handmade tiles, Italian appliances, and custom polished chrome fixtures. Modern updates blend naturally with the home’s original architecture.
In the right wing, a family room with wood-paneled walls and vaulted ceilings sits beside a library/office, creating a comfortable space.
Designed in a classic L-shaped configuration, the home is oriented so the backyard and pool remain in view from nearly every main living space. Every room feels connected to nature, creating a home that is comfortable, open, and just as enjoyable today as it was when it was first built. Read Less
