Encino The Strawberry House by Benton and Park, AIA c.1964

17061 STRAWBERRY DRIVE, ENCINO | 4 BD | 4 BA | 3,368 SF

I’d call this a flashback Friday, but this is actually for sale again. We here at Modern Living LA sold this Benton and Park Palm Springs style mid-century modern in Encino a few years back. It takes less than 10 seconds upon entry to understand exactly how cool this architectural house is; looking past the double door entryway to the terrazzo floor past the floor to ceiling walls of glass over the swimming pool into the panoramic view of the San Fernando Valley. You almost don’t even need to see the rest of the house.

Pasadena Wallace Neff, The Andrew Neff House

1097 S LOS ROBLES AVENUE, PASADENA | $1,850,000 | 2 BD | 2 BA

Wow. What if the Flintstone’s and the Jetson’s homes had a rendezvous? The result may very well be something like this Airform futurist modern residence by Wallace Neff. The Andrew Neff house circa 1946 even comes with your very own bomb shelter. I guess that makes it a true “atomic” age modern home.
