The home features signature details not to be messed with, clerestory windows, cement terrazzo floors, handsome custom mahogany carpentry, built-ins, and living spaces that flow seamlessly throughout. There is a total of five bedrooms, an in-home sauna, exercise room, wrap-around brick porches, shoji screens, an extensive Arizona room and a separate studio or mother-in-law suite. As if all that wasn’t enough, this home was selected with around 20 other Gists for a book about his work due to be published next year.
Here comes the but: There is a lot of ceramic tile over the cement floors that would be nice if removed and the floors just left polished. National Historic Register status for Gist properties is in the works. But this property is not eligible to be on the Registry and for tax credit benefits until the year 2020!
