HOLLYWOOD HILLS MID-CENTURY MODERN ZEN SANCTUARY BY JEREMY RENNER

on By

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.

GLENDALE RUDOLPH SCHINDLER’S RODRIGUEZ HOUSE

Glendale Rudolph Schindler’s Rodriguez House

1845 NIODRARA DR, GLENDALE | $3,095,000 | 4 BD | 4 BA

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

1817 LUCILE AVE, SILVER LAKE | $2,000,000 | 2 BD | 3 BA

Perched up in the private hillsides of Silver Lake, this home features panoramic views of the iconic Hollywood sign and the Griffith Park Observatory. Fritz Haeg, who is also known for the geodesic home, designed 1817 Lucile with a distinct and thoughtful color scheme where each room reveals its own unique hue. In addition, the exterior elevation features a rocket-like silhouette with wood siding and a stucco facade which contains mica dust sparkles that glisten when viewed from different angles.

WEST HOLLYWOOD HAYWORTH GARDENS SPANISH SANCTUARY

West Hollywood Hayworth Gardens Spanish Sanctuary

1345 N HAYWORTH AVE #109, WEST HOLLYWOOD | $1,175,000 | 3 BD | 2 BA

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. It’s well-appointed with an updated kitchen and nice finishes. In the heart of West Hollywood, it’s moments from the Sunset Strip or all the action around Santa Monica Blvd. We often get clients who want a lot of charm and want to be “close to everything”.

HANCOCK PARK WILLIAM PEREIRA ARCHITECTURAL HOME

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?

HOLLYWOOD HILLS VILLA ALAMBRA HISTORIC SPANISH COLONIAL REVIVAL

Hollywood Hills Villa Alambra Historic Spanish Colonial Revival

1966 Outpost Circle, Hollywood Hills | $4,595,000 | 4 Bd | 5 BA

We’re always thrilled to step foot into an historic Spanish Colonial Revival home. This lovely example is in none other than Outpost estate area of the Hollywood Hills. The architectural home was Designed by Ellet P. Parcher.

Set off the street up a small drive and behind gates and mature vegetation lies this grand abode. There plenty are swoon worth well preserved original details that drew our attention including Spanish tiles, hand carved wooden doors, stained glass windows and a cascading waterfall. The expansive octagonal dining room is quite impressive. We’re picturing a butler service for formal events back in the day. Yet, this 4,600+ square foot house has plenty of space to throw a party befitting the roaring 20’s. If you’re looking for a classic Hollywood estate, you’ve found a special one in this house.

Silver Lake The Garduno-Heiser House, Raul F. Garduno

1954 LUCILE AVE, SILVER LAKE | $2,350,000 | 2 BD | 2 BA

Lucile Ave is one of our favorite streets for Mid Century architecture in Silver Lake. For a short street, it pacts a wallop. Two of our favorite side by side houses were designed by Raul Garduno in the 1960’s. Up a set of floating stairs is the Garduno-Heiser House. Propped up in the sky by striking red beams, this home appears to float above its surroundings. We’ve often referred to these homes as “the bird houses”.

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).

Hancock Park The Baker House by Elmer Grey

1201 SAINT ANDREWS PLACE, LOS ANGELES | $2,995,000 | 5 BD | 5 BA

Known as Country Club Park, a nod to the golf course previously sited there around the turn of the 20th century, this area was one of the first neighborhoods to feature prominent homes for the wealthy. After the golf course moved to Holmby Hills, those with means were building some of L.A.s most distinguished architectural homes in this neighborhood. The Baker House by Elmer Grey proudly exemplifies this as St Andrews Place is an exceptionally wide street and the home is sited on a 16,000 square foot corner lot.
