Property Description
Miraleste Knolls, 1955 - Edward H. Fickett, FAIA. Sited in the rolling hills above San Pedro, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence, designed by architect Edward Fickett, a pioneer of mid-century design, is now available for just the second time in 70 years. This well-preserved example retains all the Fickett hallmarks of the era - his signature open kitchen, angular clerestories, and an open living space grounded by a sculptural fireplace hearth. Many original architectural finishes, such as the walnut cabinetry, wood-paneled walls, and the frosted glass soffit lighting, remain beautifully intact. The living area is flanked by a continuous wall of glass, offering a view of the oversized flat yard with mature trees and an outdoor fireplace. Indoor-outdoor connections in every room create a sense of spaciousness that extends well beyond the home's boundaries, providing ample opportunities to enjoy the nearly 12,000 SF lot and the natural beauty that surrounds it. Edward Fickett became the go-to architect for California residential developers. By 1960, the Los Angeles Times estimated that he had already built more than 40,000 homes. This unspoiled mid-century gem, designed by one of the most prolific architects of the era, is situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, adjacent to the hiking trails and dramatic ocean views of Friendship Park, and located in a close-knit community with excellent schools, restaurants, and other amenities nearby.
