This high end luxury flat perched amongst the trees in the heart of East Sacramento’s “Fabulous Forties” was originally a property known as “Twin Oaks” that was purchased in the early 1900s by Louis F. Bruener. Soon after his purchase, Bruener constructed a remarkable mansion on the property, which remained an East Sacramento landmark for decades until it was replaced by the luxury 4100 Folsom Boulevard building in the late 1960‘s.
Nestled in a park like setting hidden from street view now sits the iconic 10-story midcentury modern gem that was designed, built and landscaped by the award winning team of Dreyfuss & Blackford Architects, Continental Heller Construction Co., and Mayes & Beck. The lush two-acre grounds are gated and set back from Folsom Boulevard and include a variety of California native and endangered trees. The large, unusual tree at the entrance is a “bunya-bunya” typically only found in the southern hemisphere.
Among just a few of the many notable features of 4100 Folsom are the large, black double doors with oversize brass knobs that guard the entry way to the building and create a strong sense of elegance and luxurious style. As you travel into the foyer you’ll notice the impeccable limestone floors and walls that are accented by classic midcentury modern orb lights, a theme that is carried through to the landscape lighting and the condo itself. Once inside you’ll notice subtle, yet deliberate design details such as the detailed oversized wood entry doors and the solid rosewood door handles.
4100 Folsom has been the home to many notable past residents such as former National Security Adviser Bill Clark and former US Secretary of Agriculture, Dick Lyng. Not to mention the building is just a short walk away from Ronald Reagan’s former residence at 1341 45th Street when he was the Governor of California.
4100 Folsom is truly an irreplaceable gem tucked away in East Sacramento, the city’s most prestigious and desirable neighborhood.
