- Erik and Mayumi had spent a long while searching for their dream Modernist home, one that captured the essence of a bygone era while offering unique architectural charm. Their journey took them through numerous open houses-Eichler's and Cliff May’s-and endless listings, each one falling short of their vision. That changed when they stumbled upon a hidden gem designed by Leopold Fischer for Dr. Ward Youry, a relatively unknown yet brilliantly talented architect whose work had recently been rediscovered. The house, with its clean lines, expansive windows, and organic integration with the surrounding landscape, was the perfect blend of history and artistry they had always dreamed of.
This architectural masterpiece not only met their aesthetic desires but also provided a deep sense of connection to the past. Once they purchased it, Erik and Mayumi embarked on a passionate renovation journey, meticulously preserving the original features in the home and studio while carefully updating it for modern living. The renovation became a labor of love, transforming the house into a stunning fusion of past and present, a testament to their commitment to preserving architectural history while creating a warm, welcoming home.

The way he talks about his home. Everything he learned about the people that built the house. He has passion and respects the history of it. What a pleasure to listen to him speak about it
This couple truly are the perfect people for this home! They love, appreciate, & value its entire history & know how to enjoy its offerings!! I hope their children get to inherit it - in the future because they know what it’s like to live there & they know/ understand it’s incredible history. & value!!
Thank you for sharing - this is a very nice video tour!!
So much character, the textures, the lighting...Homes had such a impact back then. So warm and inviting. I hope when im older there will still be houses like this.
and, they lasted. They’re still here.
They will. For a few million probably.
Floor to ceiling glass is a feature I have always lusted after.
What a gem, and a wonderful couple...perfection.
Love the quiet dignity, the clear light, the clean lines, and the enthusiasm of the owners to preserve its integrity!
This wood paneling interior, the spacious layout inside the house, the old Californian Beetle with its roof rack, the trees, the exterior of the house, the neighborhood, the sunlight, and the blue sky are so 70s. This time capsule is what I love.
beautiful, love this guy's perspective & energy
A beautiful and classic home. ❤
Wow. Love this house, full stop. What a perfect couple to shepard this architectural treasure into the future. Congratulations to them. Bonus points for a beautiful cat who only adds to the period perfection. Great video. Thank you for featuring.
Very serene! If I was fortunate enough to live there, I'm not sure I'd get much done because I'd be blissed out all the time.😂 The VW bug just completes the total aesthetic.✅
Truly a timeless forever home
a really beautiful house! so nice that these wonderful people are caring for it the way they do!!!
i feel peace watching this tour
So beautiful!
What a tremendous find... I kept pausing the video and stuttering back to savor various frames.
A truly beautiful home, lovingly preserved, as old as I am, with seemingly as joyful a life.
What a cool and unique home! I found the studio to be the most interesting part of the home - what a wonderful look and vibe to it. I also love all the natural light throughout the rest of the home. In addition, Erik was wonderful to listen to - he is easily one of my favorite homeowners from this series.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your space. Your house truly is a home. I'd take this over any of the new monster, suburban homes being built today.
Simply perfect!! Us who live in LB love our historical homes...
love everything about this
me too
I love Long Beach. We tried to get a cliff may also but there were so many overbids. But this is a lovely home. Thanks for sharing.
G'ah! All the lines of this home pull you into the negative space in such a terrifyingly appealing way. lol. It's mezmerizing. Beautiful in its deceptive simplicity. It's fun how this home can seemingly play against nature with its mid-century "modernity" and yet its inherent openness, in truth, embraces nature lovingly and sets it free to play in its midst. We rarely embrace this level of simple humility in the face of nature when designing living spaces in the present. These homeowners are blessed. Great video. :)
I love this house, I like listening to him speak of the house and I understand and appreciate the need to keep the studio pristine...personally, I wouldn't allow even family to stay there.
That living room at dusk, I’m begging you. 🖤
Magic house. The lady’s oriental zen spirit is a perfect complement to the design. I’m totally feeling the vibe.Thanks!
The light..!
Absolutely stunning home. It is my dream to live in a home so warm, inviting, and unique like this one.
This is so beautiful, it took me back in time. Such a serene space to come home to after work, or being out all day. It reminds me so much of my cousin’s houses in the 70’s, I always loved the wall paneling and interesting windows. People decorated with so much more color back then.
I love the large spaces and the large windows in these homes.
@4:44 it such a nice time capsule, it encompasses all the aspects of the room but as if its frozen in time.
That glazed addon makes me happy.
A wonderful home with wonderful spaces and you totally nailed the kitchen remodel... seems like that is the way it's been from the start.
Fabulous home! I love everything about it!
I'm puzzled why builders don't make homes like this anymore.
Profit over all.
Nothing but junk being built for 3x the cost. A shame…. I respect old crafts and the old original ideas. I hope one day to build my own smaller mid century modern home
People want their McMansions
There’s a gorgeous new build eco-conscious mid-century development in Desert Hot Springs, CA. Nobody is buying them.
@@socalstr The whole project of 20 homes is up for auction, $5 mil with no bids yet
So stunning and it has a ton of history but without feeling pretentious.
Love this house and the thoughtful owners.
Beautiful house and beautiful story behind the house. Thanks for sharing.
The bell is a very spiritual thing the sounds bells makes connects with our chakra
I wish this guy had talked to Chris Pratt an Katherine Schwarzenegger who just demolished that classic Elwood home. Homes and architecture like these need to be preserved and cared for. This is such a cool interesting space
Such a pleasant and well made video. It's a charming house and I really enjoyed the owner's narration.
What a gem! I had to pause the video a few times, to appreciate the details and enjoy myself.
A beautiful house with incredible light.
I love the entry/editing of the video, for a moment it reminded me of any beginning of the episode of Fargo by the Cohen brothers.
Glad to listening to him speak of the house and understand it and put in value.
These houses must be preserved, it is not only architecture, it is knowledge and history.
Incredible! We live in a Cliff May (the ranchos near you) and I have been finding so many great examples of modern houses with architects I have never heard of here LB. What a special house! Thank you for sharing it.
Just fantastic - could move in - in a split of a Second - huge congratulations to all involved architects and the owner for this piece of art
So great, thanks so much. So fortunate this house found owners who really appreciate and enjoy it.
This is a hidden treasure
Thank you. What a wonderful home to share with us!
This house is Spectacular !! Love this ......
jaw droppingly stunning
The beautiful beetle is the icing on the cake 😘👌
Es una casa personal, atractiva y hermosa. Sin pretensiones y honesta, para vivirla.
Beautiful Home! I love how you used mullet to describe it! Business in the front, party in the back!
Beautiful home! Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful home. People don’t need more than this regardless of how much money they have.
Well done. Love your house. Thanks for sharing.
This home is a vibe
Love it!
That’s was a good little surprise 😎
Good house, great owners, nice to have it appreciated. But best is seeing the original Max Bill Olympics poster again along with other works of his. It was always my favorite of the entire series of 1972 posters. (I have the Vasarely.) And a Black and Orange CA license plate on a real VW bug - the kind where your fingers can touch the windshield from the steering wheel! How did you get that personalized?
Beautiful.
Love the video, LOVE the kitchen. Any idea who did the kitchen?
Wow- gorgeous! So glad you got it and brought the best out of it as well as preserving it!
I love the Bell Tower, it fits perfectly with the house.
Wonderful house. I love the sofas. Anybody knows who designed them ?
Beautiful house.Liked and tried to find the music,too...
Love this home!
I can't believe you parked that immaculate '59 on the street...
This is cool.
thank you
Absolute dream house. Fabulous!!
I love ❤️ everything on your beautiful home so classic with style love those trees 🌳. We had a beautiful tree on the front of our current house. Almost 2 years ago a young teenager was intoxicated drunk & sinceour house is right in front of a stop sign in our neighborhood well he didn't stop 😳 went straight full speed broke our beauty tree instantly. The goid thing he was ok but what get so mad was the fact that if our tree was not there his car would of wwnt straight to my sons room front window. Thank god he was not there but because of that accident we decided to look for another houses. Safety is first so now we are trying to pay it off as soon as possible with houses right now r way too high on price yes we live in California & will never leave California
Incredible!!!
Definitely track house looking. And Brady Bunch decor.
Awesome! 💖
This house is just like any house in Finland and most of Europe. The interior is very common, even my parents in law’s house interior is like that and exterior is more sturdy. Things last longer here because of better material same concept. I check out Artek furnitures and Alvar Aalto interior homes😊
Woww kerennnn....pengen punya rumah kayak gitu❤
It is a really beautiful place. Thanks you
Finally watching this, as I missed it in my feed. Bravo on yet another video where the owner has a car of interest!
Super interesting home with the merge of different eras.
Also nice that they weren't giving off the usual nepo baby vibes that so many of this type of video (not usually Open Spaces tho) give off.
Lovely house xx
Complete with a VW Bug! 😅 This is an awesome house with a cool story.👍😎🇨🇦
I say WOW too
Sweet home ! 🌴
I love your videos. ❤Please do Fresno, CA again. There’s several hidden gems here
Great house and respekt for keeing in as it where build :)
Marvelous 👏👏
Love it.
Incredible place….. id love to go to a party there for sure.
Love it
i love these videos but man sometimes the music makes me feel like we are getting set up for a horror movie jump scare
LOL
love love love. Took me 3 hours one day to get down to Long Beach from the West SFV - thought I wanted to kill myself but LB is a great vibe. Clapping hands for the way the plants indoor and out are so sculptural. I really should give those little cane palms another shot. Such a good look.
Need to know where I can find that throw on the bed in the guest house 😍
#perfect
For a minute before this starting playing I thought the house was in Uruguay 🇺🇾
I am poor. I watch this. And i cry..😭😭
Beautiful home.
What is a Nycler? You mentioned trying to purchase one but didn't have any luck
Everyone mocks the suburban family of the 50's, at the same time touting the design of all things midcentury it as chic.
There's this guy ... and then there's Chris Pratt
Lovely place, I live nearby, my home is not this cool 😎
Where does he store all the smug when company arrives?
