WHAT: A three-bedroom midcentury modern with two and a half baths SIZE: 2,641 square feet SETTING: This midcentury modern is in Rockwood, a neighborhood about a mile and a half from downtown Spokane. Rockwood's streets are curved and sloping, lined with houses mostly dating from the 1910s to the 1940s, including a few mansions built for lumber barons. Two blocks from this house is Manito Park, which has 90 acres of playgrounds, walking paths, a pond, a cafe and botanical gardens planted with lilacs, perennials, roses and traditional Japanese horticulture. INDOORS: The house, designed by Bruce Walker and completed in 1955, received a design award from the American Institute of Architects. Floors in most of the common areas are red brick, and the light-colored gumwood walls - many of which are partial to give the space a clean, permeable feel - have recessed shelves and bookcases built into them. The foyer is accented by a bronze screen designed by a local artist. One wall in the living room has a wood-burning fireplace with a stucco hood, and another has a glass wall facing the back patio and yard. Beyond the living room is the dining room, the kitchen and the family room. The family room, a late-1950s addition, has a thin ribbon of windows running wall-to-wall and a serving window into the kitchen. Bedrooms are laid out in a row two steps up from the common areas, an elevation that allows for windows in the basement. Floors in the bedrooms are carpeted, and the connecting hallway has built-in shelves. The master is part of a suite with an office and a private balcony overlooking the yard and gardens. OUTDOOR SPACE: The house is set on an acre secluded by old-growth trees. The grounds were designed by Lawrence Halprin, a landscape architect whose projects included the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C., Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco and Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis. Behind the house is a terrace and yard, with another small paved terrace and built-in bench near trees at the edge of the property. On one side of the house, separated from the rest of the yard by brightly-colored panels set in a tall cedar frame, is a secondary yard that was designed for the original owners" children.
