Description

A 1960 modernist original. Distinctive mid-century hillside retreat in the heart of historic Hollywoodland with sweeping views of the canyon, Griffith Observatory, and 'Catalina on a good day'. Set across a terraced parcel, this 2-story, 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence embraces the hillside with the post-and-beam sensibility and a custom floor plan design that defines California modernism. Six decks and oversized floor-to-ceiling windows create a remarkable sequence of outdoor spaces, connecting the home to its surroundings and capturing the quality of light from east to west. Mindful details preserve the home's original integrity and character, from original paneling to its tiered architecture, while considered improvements bring modern amenity. The kitchen was renovated in 2020, the decks in 2021, and the roof replaced in 2017. A new Lennox furnace followed in 2021. A private outdoor spa with olive tree and city views offer a welcome respite. An induction cooktop, walk-in closet, and dedicated carport storage add everyday functionality. Outside, mature avocado and lime trees lend a touch of garden character to the hillside setting. Private, yet moments from Hollywood studios, creative hubs, and the landmark trails of Beachwood Canyon and Griffith Park. Architectural sensibility and a setting that is distinctly LA.
