The style of this home

Constructed in 1948 and carefully updated with high-end, permitted systems improvements, 1322 W Flower Street represents a flawless interpretation of the classic Modern Ranch style, deeply rooted in the historical footprint of Campus Vista.

The architectural language

The mid-century American ranch was born from a desire for horizontal space, solid masonry boundaries, and open visual connections across the shared spaces of the home. This property honors those post-war structural choices with thick red brick outer walls, offering immense structural integrity and inherent heat resistance.

The 2,160 square foot layout is designed around immediate openness. Rather than dividing the home with partition walls, the space flows naturally from a bright front foyer into a wide centralized gathering area, leading back to the bedrooms. Arched transitions soften the pathways, creating a pleasing balance of clean linear architecture and classic design touchpoints.

The materials

Materials should age gracefully rather than feel dated. Wood-look plank tiling covers the floors consistently from room to room, handling heavy use with ease and keeping interiors cool. In the kitchen, solid granite countertops with natural speckling match beautifully with white shaker cabinetry and black industrial hardware.

Bathrooms feature bright white marble-styled tiling along the shower walls and classic penny hexagon tiles on the floors. These solid ceramic surfaces reflect light across the rooms, ensuring a bright, welcoming feel at any time of day.

The interior layout

A key design highlight is the layout of the bedrooms. Two of the three main bedrooms feature fully private, en-suite bathrooms, giving everyone their own comfortable space. The den, set near the main entrance, is currently styled as a formal dining area, offering a flexible setup for anyone needing a quiet den, a play space, or a dedicated creative home office.

Dual-unit living

The property layout is completed by a separate, fully permitted 400 square foot studio casita. Rather than a modern modular addition, the casita features industrial-style detailing with an exposed brick wall, concrete floors, a sleek kitchen setup, and a full en-suite bathroom.

This dual-structure layout provides comfortable multi-generational living, dedicated guest quarters, or a reliable rental opportunity in a highly desirable, historically preserved neighborhood.
