About this home
-W.R. Hayden House, Robert H Ainsworth, 1954-Built for supermarket magnate and philanthropist W.R. Hayden in 1954, this Polynesian Mid-Century home is an architectural jewel, full of period details, natural materials and innovative design. A truly rare offering by notable architect Robert H Ainsworth. Well known for his larger, palatial homes and public buildings, the smaller, single-level (with 670 sf of attic living space), W.R. Hayden House, demonstrates Ainsworth's flexibility as he showcases lesser-known elements of his architectural oeuvre. Designed later in his career, each living space exemplifies his broad knowledge portfolio; employing diverse methods that would later define the MCM movement and Ainsworth's innovation. Walls of glass merge interior and exterior spaces, extending sight lines and allowing for natural light to flood the interior. Flexible living spaces and open arrangements blur traditional boundaries encouraging greater interaction, community and harmonious living. Ainsworth's extensive use of natural, unfinished materials, such as stone and wood paneling further promotes the sense of balance between inside and outside words. Natural grooved wood paneling is used throughout, creating exquisite patterns of light, texture and mood; which is continued on the exterior. Glass partitions open to large lanai, landscaped gardens, oversized pool and 1,076 sf architectural pool house with 2 changing room w/BA's. As design forward as the main structure, the pool house amazes at every angle and truly complements and continues the many design features exhibited in the main house. Covered walkway leads to 3-car garage and second driveway off Chaucer Rd; circular driveway on Canterbury.-Highlights: *4BR/4BA. *Updated kitchen w/breakfast bar and banquette seating. *1,076 sf pool house with 2 changing rooms w/shower and BA (not included in SF). *Single-level w/670 sf attic space w/heat/AC. *Circular driveway off Canterbury, 3-car garage and driveway off Chaucer.
