HOLLYWOOD HILLS MID-CENTURY MODERN ZEN SANCTUARY BY JEREMY RENNER
2630 HARLESDEN CT, HOLLYWOOD HILLS | $12,995,000 | 6 BD | 9 BA
When we first saw this property back in 2012 it had been in the same family since it was built back in 1967. The home was designed by architect Richard Stoddard, a graduate of the USC school of architecture, for a Los Angeles Commissioner, philanthropist and developer, Mike Hollander. When it came on the market, there were groovy original features including a central vacuuming system. Just plug in the portable vacuum hose into the wall receptacle in each room. Who’s got time to roll a vacuum from room to room?
The home was a custom Japanese inspired mid century modern home with a koi pond and lily pads. This luxury home was built for a family with means. At the time of the previous listing, Jeremy Renner snatched it up for a cool million over the asking price. In addition to his acting credits, Jeremy was known at the time as a house rehabber. This property, however, was too good to let go and he kept it for himself.
HANCOCK PARK WILLIAM PEREIRA ARCHITECTURAL HOME
135 N ROSSMORE AVE, HANCOCK PARK | $5,495,000 | 4 BD | 5 BA
William Pereira Architectural Home is a headline we rarely see. The last single family residence I can remember designed by the luminary was the Chatsworth residence of Dora Hutchinson built in 1951 (later owned by Frank Sinatra). Pereira was a pillar in the commercial world of mid century architecture.
So, to see the home he designed for himself at 135 N Rossmore in Hancock Park to hit the market, we were thrilled. We understand this house is going to need lots of love to either bring it back or move it forward to a restoration it deserves. But it sure has some lines doesn’t it?
BEVERLY HILLS RICHARD NEUTRA’S WILLIAM H. LEVIT
1705 SUMMITRIDGE DRIVE, BEVERLY HILLS | $10,900,000 | 4 BD | 4 BA
British hairstylist icon Vidal Sassoon was known for the geometric hairstyle called the five-point cut. With clients like Goldie Hawn and Mia Farrow sporting this 1960’s classic look, it would have probably cost a small fortune to have him cut our own locks. Well, one of two RICHARD NEUTRA homes he owned with his wife has now hit the market. And, guess what, it’s a small fortune (as the finer things often are).
The home is being sold by his last wife, designer Rhonda Sassoon. Known as the William H Levit house, it’s a classic Neutra post and beam. We can understand why the Sassoons were drawn to the simple geometry of Neutra. Clean lines and angles abound in this 1960’s architecture from its six-sided polygon shaped pool to the double side cut out fireplace.
HANCOCK PARK STORYBOOK REVIVAL HOME, CHATEAU LEMOINE
846 S LONGWOOD AVE, LOS ANGELES | $5,498,000 | 5 BD | 6 BA
If we think of Hollywood as the land of make believe, then call the coachman to bring around the carriage, we’re headed to a Storybook Revival home, Chateau LeMoine. French architect Earl LaMoine purchased this piece of land at the behest of his wife, as she loved the idyllic setting. The original home was styled to compliment the homes they knew in the South of France.
It was completed in 1926. Set in the Brookside neighborhood along the Arroyo De Los Jardines (Brook of the Gardens), the home is now gated and surrounded by tall, lush landscaping for plenty of privacy.
LOS FELIZ EDWARD FICKETT THE JACOBSON RESIDENCE
4520 DUNDEE DR., LOS FELIZ | $6,849,000 | 3 BD | 5 BA
Our experience with Edward Fickett mid century architecture usually has us pining away a casual day by the pool in Palm Springs. The Jacobson Residence in Los Feliz has plenty of the signature mid-century open floor plan vibes and walls of glass. But this custom residence was designed with warm woods, red brick and split levels.
It’s nicely situated on the hillside to take advantage of the westerly views and gorgeous California sunsets. And indoor atrium set with a red brick backdrop is one of our favorite features. And, As an added bonus. It’s only a few doors down from Neutra’s Lovell Health House.
TROUSDALE ESTATES THE CALVET RESIDENCE BY REX LOTERY, FAIA
1061 LOMA VISTA DRIVE, BEVERLY HILLS | $21,995,000 | 6 BD | 8 BA
As much as we’d like to say Trousdale Estates never disappoints, let’s face it, some of the houses have been remodeled beyond recognition from the original modernist design. The Calvet Residence by Rex Lotery, FAIA, however, is stunning.
From the abundantly lush landscaping to the warm wood accents, this restoration will make some new deep pocketed homeowner swoon with appreciation. Waking up to a view looking thru the floor to ceiling walls of glass of a stylish geometrically shaped pool doesn’t hurt either. Is that an Alexander Calder we spy in the backyard?
PACIFIC PALISADES RODNEY WALKER’S WEST HOUSE CASE STUDY 18
199 CHAUTAUQUA BLVD, PACIFIC PALISADES l $11.9M l Case Study 18 l 3 BD l 3 BA
An historic Case Study house has just hit the market. Rodney Walker’s West House or Case Study 18 is located moments from the coast on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. As our modernist aficionados know, the Case Study Program was established by Arts & Architecture editor John Entenza. The magazine sponsored this groundbreaking program which gave us historic houses from such renowned architects as Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig, A Quincy Jones and Raphael Soriano (to name but a few).
The setting of this home is pretty spectacular as the property is perched above the street off a long drive and surrounded by lush vegetation. The house remains largely intact. The picture perfect living room even includes Warren Platner chairs, a Milo Baughman sofa and the the classic Noguchi table, a dream to any modernist fan. A floor to ceiling double sided brick fireplace inlaid with copper is a stunning centerpiece to the room.
BEL AIR WILT CHAMBERLAIN’S “URSA MAJOR “
15216 ANTELO PLACE, LOS ANGELES | $11,995,000| 5 BD | 8 BA
If you ever wanted to know how an architect designs a brutalist modern home for a 7 foot tall Los Angeles Laker, look no further. Wilt Chamberlain commissioned David Rich to design this eclectic modern home in Bel Air which he designated “Ursa Major”. The title seems fitting as the home seems like it could blast off at any time.
This is by far the MOST unique & impossible to replicate property, that you may ever see. Exceptional custom built estate, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and mastered by renowned architect David Rich, for no other than basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain ( also know as “The BIG Dipper”, or Wilt the Stilt” ). Utmost privacy & hidden behind massive gates, this major Belair estate named “URSA MAJOR”, is perched atop a secluded 2.5-acre promontory, on a cul-de-sac.
HOLLYWOOD HILLS SPANISH MEDITERRANEAN ESTATE
1760 COURTNEY AVE, LOS ANGELES | $15,495,000 | 7 BD | 8 BA
When we here a home has been featured in Architectural Digest back in the 1920’s, our interest is piqued. This Spanish Mediterranean estate is hidden at the base of the Hollywood Hills up a private drive. Thankfully the owners have taken on the stewardship of this 100 year old home and have made period appropriate renovations. Let’s hope this home goes to a buyer who is willing to continue that tradition.
Over the course of its illustrious history, the Blair Estate has maintained its status as one of the most legendary estates in Hollywood. Completely hidden from the street, a long, gated driveway leads to a sprawling 1+ acre park-like haven. Originally built in 1924 by George H. Fruehling for the renowned developer John H. Blair, this masterful estate was crafted to showcase the best of Spanish Mediterranean architecture to a newly developing Los Angeles.
