Yokam who traveled extensively around the world and had a passion for gardening exotic plants. The design of the home was initiated by Herbert Bayer, famous for developing the san serif typeface, and who was a famous graphic artist and designer. ( On the coffee table in the living room is the home that was the inspiration for this home - located in Aspen CO and designed by Bayer )The house was placed on the lot to elevate the feng shui energy of the location and maximize the front gardens. The Yokums headed the Mclean Horticulture Society for more than a decade. In the early 1970s, 970 Saigon Circle graced the cover of Town Country Magazine's Garden edition and hosted several art exhibits throughout this period. The current owners have enjoyed the grace and beauty of this iconic home for 20 years and lovingly maintained it. A must see - Please see the tour! http://tour.homevisit.com/view/314653
