Published many times and photographed by Julius Shulman, Bel Vista’s design features an abundance of windows and doors in common and private spaces creating a heightened sense of indoor/outdoor living. It’s a light and bright showplace. Restored bathrooms to period detail, beautiful polished concrete and cork floors and an original color palette bring its period of significance to life.
