It sits on more than three-quarters of an acre, offering views stretching to the ocean on clear days from inside and beyond, framed by the floor-to-ceiling glass walls that overlook the grounds.<\/p>\n<p>Owners Michele and Brian Smatko planned to meet with a listing agent in early 2025, but on Jan. 7, 2025, the Eaton fire erupted, tearing through the foothills. It killed 19 people and claimed more than 9,000 structures in its path.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe assumed our house wasn\u2019t going to make it, however when we drove up the following morning \u2026 we saw the eaves of our living room peeking out,\u201d Michele Smatko said. \u201cWe were thrilled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their relief was short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that point, we didn\u2019t know the damage the fire had done to our home,\u201d Brian Smatko added, speaking by phone from the couple\u2019s new out-of-state home. \u201cThey had to do all this testing to find out the breadth of the contamination, and once we got those reports back, we discovered we had a lot of lead. Did not see much arsenic, if at all, and no asbestos. But the lead, being a neurotoxin, sticks to everything so it\u2019s very difficult to clean. That\u2019s what set us off on this big reclamation journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The smoke damage was so significant that the house required gutting.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with a choice between listing it as a ready-to-build \u201cshell\u201d or putting in the work, Brian Smatko said they opted to roll up their sleeves \u2014 a decision made possible by a insurance policy.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t want to leave a mess for someone else,\u201d he said. \u201cMichele and I looked at each other and said, \u2018We can do this! We can put this house back.\u2019 When basically everything on the inside is ripped out, the basic design is still there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New terrazzo flooring replaced the old Marmoleum, and they reinstalled wall-to-wall carpet in the step-down living room, anchored by a rock fireplace and a mahogany-paneled vaulted ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>The living room shares the open floor plan with the formal dining room. A built-in buffet separates the space from the entrance, where glass walls flank a red door and an embedded cabinet that juts both inside and out and is original to the home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty unique,\u201d said listing agent Julie Milbrodt of Coldwell Banker Realty. \u201cPeople don\u2019t build that way anymore, and I find those aspects desirable.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>She added that the appeal of the mid-century modern aesthetic has only grown stronger since this house\u2019s completion in 2000.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=2142\">Neon lights and fried food bites are back as the 2026 Los Angeles County Fair opens<\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to a building biography of the property by Tim Gregory, a smaller house built in 1951 previously occupied the site. Then-owner Helen M. Heard, the daughter of a prominent California land-and-cattle family, had it demolished to make way for a new modern-style home designed by Buff, Smith and Hensman, a pioneering Southern California firm known for post-and-beam architecture.\u00a0Founding partner Conrad Buff died in 1988 at 62 and Donald Hensman retired in 1997, so surviving partner Dennis Smith likely drew the design.<\/p>\n<p>While the renovation honors its legacy, the Smatkos didn\u2019t put the house back exactly as it was, opting instead to modernize the finishes and functionality for a new era.<\/p>\n<p>A pocket door conceals the renovated kitchen, fitted with new appliances, floating shelves, maple cabinetry and white quartz countertops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were some original design elements that were not ideal; for example, counter heights were non-standard,\u201d Brian Smatko said. \u201cSo we brought the counter heights up to standard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of those functional upgrades, they converted the butler\u2019s pantry into a laundry room.<\/p>\n<p>Milbrodt describes the \u201cspectacular\u201d primary bedroom as a private retreat with views and direct access to the backyard. The bathroom offers a long vanity and a dressing area with a large backlit mirror, while an open doorway leads to a tiled wet room. In this spa-like space is a separate tub and a shower with a glass-topped pony wall.<\/p>\n<p>Outside, the grounds feature a redone pool and spa, water-wise landscaping and new decorative block walls.<\/p>\n<p>The property includes solar panels, a fire sprinkler system, an alarm system and a new roof.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that as people tour the home, they see it\u2019s a real gem that we tried to preserve,\u201d Michele Smatko said. \u201cI hope people, especially people who love preservation, see that it is something special.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=2141\">UCLA football gives fans a preview in Spring Game at Rose Bowl<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michele and Brian Smatko spent a year reclaiming their 2000 Buff, Smith and Hensman home after it suffered smoke damage during the 2025 Eaton fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2053,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-housing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
