Modern Living in Distinctive Los Angeles Homes
If you've spent time driving up in the hills below the Hollywood sign, you've probably seen the tower of this magnificent estate known as Castillo del Lago. Both Madonna and notorious gangster Bugsy Siegel have called this estate home. If walls could talk...
Woods drive is famous for Case Study House #22, aka The Stahl House. This modern home by celebrated Los Angeles architect Brian Murphy is an impressive addition to this notable street. Did you see the scale of the living area?
Rising Glen strikes again! This is one of our favorite streets for architectural properties. He's a 1956 vintage condition Mid Century Home by architect Richard Frazer. It's in need of a little love, but aren't we all? The "Rubin Residence'', built in 1956 by Richard Frazer is now available for the first time in 67 years. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac on over a half-acre lot, this home is surrounded by lush greenery, providing ultimate privacy and seclusion.
Rising Glen is one of those streets that plenty aspire to live on. This modernized mid century conveys the elegance and grace befitting this stretch of homes. A tastefully renovated Mid-Century centered around a sun-drenched pool. With an elevated interior design, all materials and furnishings have been meticulously selected throughout the home for a refined aesthetic. A unique offering in the Bird Streets, a true sanctuary.
One of the true architectural prizes of Los Angeles real estate, Garcia House by John Lautner. It's stunning unique parabolic roofline is but a taste of the exceptional design bestowed on this home. An extensive renovation by award winning Marmol Radziner architects will help ensure this home has many decades of life left for its inhabitants.
A 60's Mid Mod post and beam just hit the market. This architectural view property is a nice treat this time of year when there's usually not much new to hit the market. Hollywood Hills 60’s Mid Mod Post and Beam.
We must confess that John Lautner may be our favorite modernist architect. His designs were unique and very identifiable as his. He did a masterful job of combining materials to soften some of the perceived "coldness" of the modern structures. Here's a one of his smaller designs in the Hollywood Hills.
Private and gated Mid Century Pool Home in the Hollywood Hills. As Hollywood was transitioning from the vintage glamour of the 1930’s and 1940’s, to what would become commonly known as the “mid century” design aesthetic. Ludwig Gluskin (a prominent band leader who worked with Orson Wells and George Burns) would commission architect Harry B Aarens to design a modern home on a special piece of property in the Hollywood Hills.
What's more "L.A." than a mid-century view house off Mulholland Drive? Situated behind a gate up a private drive, this architectural property may be a little too on the nose for a Hollywood cliche. It's got a pool with an oversized deck looking the hills and the "Valley". Maybe it'll show up in a Tarantino film....
