HOLLYWOOD HILLS MID-CENTURY MODERN ZEN SANCTUARY BY JEREMY RENNER

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.

GLENDALE RUDOLPH SCHINDLER’S RODRIGUEZ HOUSE

We’ve seen plenty of Rudolph M Schindler residences that are a bit reserved in their curb appeal. However, the 1941 post and beam Rodriguez House can’t wait to show off its architectural grandeur. The front facing wood trusses jutting out and supporting the roof are integral to the visual design of the house and set the tone for touring the rest of the home. Just off an idyllic drive in Glendale, the property is blanketed in gorgeous mature landscaping that nestles the home quite well.

SILVER LAKE ARCHITECTURAL HOME BY FRITZ HAEG

Ever heard of business in the front and party in the back?

From the street, this home appears to be an elegant modern home with smooth stucco and gorgeous wood paneling. Step inside to find a designed color scheme that would make Pantone proud. Green, pink, yellow, lavender and blue all make a substantial appearance as we wander (or we could easily say wonder) our way through the rooms.

WEST HOLLYWOOD HAYWORTH GARDENS SPANISH SANCTUARY

It’s true that Los Angeles offers a myriad of housing options. It’s also true that most homes can be out of reach for the average Angelino. So, when we see a great 3-bedroom unit in West Hollywood’s Hayworth Gardens, we take notice. At almost 1,800 square feet, this property can substitute for a single-family residence in many ways.
