Tons of windows and plants - perfect.

“I’ll make it. Of course I will.” Those are words

[@jiahangsu8316]

You guys are seriously underrated. Bravo on this whole series, can't get enough !

[@AustinAndDarrion]

Pretty cool when a video like this pops up and the house is 8 minutes away from me

[@KingAssmar]

"East Side" man knows what's up. Hidden gems peppered throughout the rolling hills of the Upper East Side going north then west on Panorama. Then there are the country club homes down a little ways in the '06 as well. Bakersfield has its problems like any other mid-sized city there is beauty and history as well. Old Town needs love and renovation, but there's much opportunity there as well.

[@JasonSpiffy]

The East side has a lot of homes that are unique much like Oleander area and Down Town.

[@cooliocoolio5080]

Bro said upper east side like he from ny

[@gaigeedgeworth647]

considering I live in bakersfield and have seen these houses mentioned in the video it just makes me so happy. awesome video. thank you for this.

[@jorgesalazar818]

Hi Gaige, I'm pondering a move from Visalia to Bakersfield. Could you give me some insight about the positives and negatives of living in Bakersfield? Thank You

[@gaigeedgeworth647]

@@jorgesalazar818 quick rundown. I would come down here and visit and see certain things. Downtown isn’t like other downtowns yet I’ve heard we might be expanding into getting downtown revitalized and hopefully that will do some good. It’s all really relative on what you like as a individual and what’s your interests are for positives. Areas I would say to live in would be southwest and northwest and east side has some good areas in it but very far in between. The bluffs would be the better area on the east side. Another positive would be our location from many things. We are like two hours away from the coast mountains LA other things as well. One negative thing our air quality. I also would say another one would be. We have a lot of unfortunate people who don’t understand how to be kind. But that is very far in between where most people are very kind. I would say overall, though Bakersfield is a decent place to live. It’s more on the affordable side of California were still of like the big city aspect as you may be familiar with with living in Visalia.

[@jorgesalazar818]

Affordability is a big factor for me, the houses aren't outrageously expensive like the rest of CA. And the air quality is just as bad here in Visalia so that won't be much different for me. I should probably visit down there more often, i want to live closer to LA but not too close, so i believe Bakersfield to be my best bet.

[@gaigeedgeworth647]

@@jorgesalazar818 then I would say as a stranger over the internet welcome to Bakersfield once you make the move here. I honestly think you’ll love moving here lol our housing market for new houses and older houses is going quite well right now. I do advise coming down and maybe meeting with a realtor and telling them what you’re looking for and what you want and don’t want. I know Bakersfield gets a bad rap but it’s definitely better than other locations in my personal opinion.

[@helpfulcommenter]

@@gaigeedgeworth647 I've noticed the lack of kindness as well - people in Bakersfield are kind of rude and inconsiderate.

[@scotwelker9741]

I grew up in Bakersfield and our dad took us to see the Ablin House by Frank Lloyd Wright when it was under construction there in the late 50's but I never knew about these wonderful homes. Thank you for sharing. Fitting tribute.

[@cashvendetta]

Lived in Bakersfield my whole almost 20 years, and never seen these homes sadly

[@W.ealth.y]

Neutra was ahead of his time. Love these videos. Real estate agent out Los Angeles

[@eldondaetweiler58]

This is such a wonderful video. Thank you for that! The true testament to architects, in this case Neutra, is the joy and warmth owners who live in these special homes exude when talking about them. I have experienced in person the love that David and Josie have for the Davis house, and watching and listening to Patricia warms my heart. There is a reason these homes are timeless and magical. Thanks to the stewards who care for them and to you for sharing them with us.

[@ephemeralcreek]

This video is so well done and well paced - excellent !

[@Brian-os9qj]

Best in Bakersfield. It is wonderful it’s appreciated as presented.

[@kaylagarman]

idk why these make me so emotionallllll I just adore them

[@madamemarmot]

Both fantastic, beautiful, livable houses.

[@gamby16a]

This one was particularly educational. Loved that. The detail of each shot is so good. Really lets us experience the house. So far, every subject home has been exactly what I'm interested in stylistically, so I'm a huge fan of the series. And those greyhounds are delightful!

[@comtedebuffon9690]

This house is really well thought. He knows what he is doing.

[@caramimi]

Beautiful... These videos are so human.

[@niasalas4996]

This is the best video! So much about the house but so much about the people !

[@gccbytmfrd]

People with good taste always love sighthounds

[@normaalcazar3322]

I drive by this house everyday!! I always wondered about it! I would love to buy the house.

[@VictorGonzalez-dd3fu]

What a gem . When i am downtown I purposely drive by there to see the house . ❤

[@scooter2163]

Awesome, this Neutra house is in good hands.

[@terracottafern]

So obsessed with this channel. One of the next big things.

[@michaelnicola5210]

Charming presentation of such a beautiful home. Neutra’s work is so relaxed and easy. Thank You

[@openspace.series]

Thank you so much!

[@danielchu3355]

waited for a new episode for a while! happy to see!

[@sfreddy]

Thank you for sharing your exquisite home online.

[@lauralintonmacfarlane5264]

So nice to se the wing chairs with red canvas, that is comfortable and girgious!

[@lauragwillim1055]

I’m binge watching all the videos. So well done!

[@NASTYcraftX]

This part of 21st street is still pretty nice. The house directly across the street is really beautiful.

[@helpfulcommenter]

This whole neighborhood is really nice, so many cool homes

[@sonyashah554]

I hope you can produce more videos and longer videos

[@galfaro6147]

Thank you for the video. The style has an emotional feeling to it for me. I had a chance to work in around and thru Neutras' mid-century architectural style in a part time basis for 20+ years at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa California. I do hope they can avoid tearing down as much of his work on the campus as possible and if they have to reflect the style in the new buildings they put up on the campus.

[@daryagraudina7401]

Thank you so much for these videos. Being admired and inspired. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@Slippedndipped]

"Yeah, Neutra... he's the guy."

[@Italian_mama3]

Bro never in my years of living here did I think something existed like this in my hometown girl whatttttt

[@hvandieren]

The greyhounds look happy and right at home there. Streamlined dogs in a streamlined house. Are they rescues? Ex-racers?

[@rodneynoriel1528]

The elementary school in Lemoore naval air station is designed and named after Neutra. I attended it in the 70’s. I never knew till later in life that it was named after the architect. I can remaster a lot of the same detail as in these homes.

[@patrickknight6542]

This is really well done and I am only somewhat interested in architecture. It fascinates me and I love exploring creatively built spaces, but I don't dig too deep. Don't know why this showed up in my feed, but curiosity about something culturally significant in Bakersfield got me to watch. It's all fascinating, but the Patricia Leddy inteview was just such a pleasure. What an interesting person and the work of art at 5:00... is just everything I love about art. It's beautiful, evocative... a mystery pulling up feelings and associations I didn't know I had. Got me looking into her and sad to learn she just died earlier this year. Does anyone know anything about her art... if it displayed? Or anything else about her life? All I could find was her obituary. Thanks for this great story of both houses you've told here. You made a difference in someone's day. I feel better and more connected to the human spirit for having watched it.

[@adityawaglearch]

Very nicely explained 👍

[@marcusbrown1767]

A real go-go indeed.

[@lyndalarose9200]

[@stldweller]

They wouldn't appreciate it like us.

[@joshatyt]

terrific, subscriber now thank you

[@vhoughton3153]

Great video thank you!

[@jp93309]

I drive by that 2 story house everyday on my commute. Never occurred to me it was of historical significance. I just thought it looked a little odd compared to other homes in the neighborhood.

[@Kahweekah2o2f]

There is one off of hwy36 in Red Bluff that looks like it’s going to be torn down

[@jasoncarson1043]

I was wondering what the inside of this house looks like. Driven past it many times going to work

[@truegrit7697]

I live in Bakersfield - that house must be insanely cold in the winter and intolerably hot in the summer.

[@LinneaSanchez]

As a fellow Bakersfieldian, I agree.

[@judithrandall4690]

Do you think people with that kind of money suffer from a lack of cooling and heating?

[@LinneaSanchez]

@@judithrandall4690 well with those old single pane windows and sliders they’re definitely fools with money. Ignorance is bliss.

[@kevmagill5163]

Looks like they've been doing just fine all these years. There's nothing foolish about saving architecturally important homes and living in a home that brings you joy.

[@kylegrieshop]

Please, what kind of tree is on the left of the frame @1:16 ? Great video btw, only wish I could've seen more of both houses.

[@pumasgoya]

Its time for him to sell it to me now.

[@myagenthouston]

what part of Bakersfield are these? the address would be great 👍

[@Krulgrafix]

I'm thinking West chester or East

[@helpfulcommenter]

The Coffey house is right on 21st Street in Westchester, (west of Chester lol) - you literally can't miss it.

[@larry4657]

I am as sick as I can get with nonstop Bahama commercials

[@zizoumonk10]

[@lauralintonmacfarlane5264]

Nuetra did not design for the very rich(contrast with Greene and aGreene, Wright)

Bakersfield is a horrible city tho. The house is lovely but the city and the air quality is horrible.

[@exoendo]

this house looks ugly to me what am I missing?

[@larrysorenson4789]

I hope that some of the unfortunate additions are stripped away as owners cone and go.

[@davidcoffey3617]

what additions are you referring to?

Bakes SUX

I’m guessing you’re not from around here, nobody calls it Bakes. Come visit, we’re not so bad 😀

[@simaopereira5396]

Actually not very impressed.

[@christophercasey7388]

The house is great, but I can't think of any good reason to live in Bakersfield (even to live in that house). It's really hot, the air quality is horrible, and there are gangs and crime.

[@themooseface]

i dont like that soft organ shit in the background audio - very annoying

[@cravenmoorehead7099]

The Leddy house has Hockney’s “Bigger Splash” pool! 👍👍👍👍
