Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece – The Starlite Model (Built in 1957 by Ross Cortese - Revived in 2025) Step into timeless design and modern comfort with this exceptionally rare Starlite model, built in 1957 by visionary developer Ross Cortese—his elegant nod to the celebrated works of Eichler and Cliff May. Thoughtfully restored and brought back to life, this mid-century modern gem captures the essence of open-concept living and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Set on a prominent 8,400 sq ft corner lot, this single-level 4-bedroom, 2-bath home stands as a focal point of the neighborhood. The drought-tolerant front courtyard and custom Trex deck porch lead to a designer fiberglass entry door accented with premium hardware—an inviting prelude to what lies within. Inside, the home showcases clean architectural lines, expansive windows, and a signature central fireplace, original to the 1957 design. The open living space flows effortlessly into a stunning chef’s kitchen featuring Thermador stainless-steel appliances, a built-in refrigerator/freezer, lux porcelain quartz countertops, and white oak rift cabinetry hand-selected for both beauty and authenticity. A modern tri-folding door opens the living area to a Trex deck patio in the backyard, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor living experience ideal for entertaining or relaxing. The home is equipped with new central air, copper plumbing, a new 200 amp electrical panel, an E.V. charger at the garage, dual pane windows, and architecturally integrated slab ducting—a rare original design feature. Each of the four bedrooms and two baths showcases designer finishes curated by Creative Surfaces of Naples, including custom tilework, upgraded lighting, copper plumbing, and modern fixtures. Every detail has been considered, from the designer hardware to the brand-new driveway with custom faux grass inlays. A true mid-century modern revival—where iconic architecture meets modern luxury. Best of all, this home is situated in the Community of Rossmoor and is part of the Award-Winning Los Alamitos Unified School District in Orange County, Ca.
