The Society Hill home that entertainment impresario Larry Magid custom-built in 1996 has been sold to its third homeowner for $1.95 million, according to public records.

The Electric Factory Concerts co-founder and his wife, Mickey, hired Daroff Designs and famed artists Ray King and Peter Pierobin to design the 4,500-square-foot home on the 600 block of Addison Street. They sold the home in 2009, and the most recent owner sold it this past June, public records show.

The three-bedroom, four-bathroom home, which previous owner Franz Rabauer described as a "Bauhaus" for its flat roof and smooth façade, is a steel and concrete structure. Its interior has some unique features: a floating staircase, a wall of glass overlooking a private garden, an elevator, and custom built-ins by Peter Pierobin.

The master suite has his-and-her dressing rooms and built-in TVs in the master bathroom.

The construction process in the 1990s didn't go as smoothly as planned. Workers were in for a surprise when they recovered human bones while they blasted through an old concrete floor. The site was a church graveyard in the 19th century.
