This is a rare opportunity to live in a slice of paradise and a piece of American history. Originally built for UAW founder Walter Reuther to host peace talks with global diplomats, this one-of-a-kind 1,800 sq ft Mid-Century Modern home offers privacy, architectural beauty, and unforgettable views.
