Pasadena Thomas and Barbara Wirick House by Calvin Straub

1617 PLEASANT WAY, PASADENA | $2,980,000 | 3 BD | 2 BA

Poppy Peak in Pasadena is one neighborhood in the greater Los Angeles region that holds its own when it comes to architecture. The Thomas and Barbara Wirick House by Calvin Straub circa 1958 is a prime example of this excellence. This post and beam home was finished just as Calvin would be joining the firm of Buff and Hensman that year to combine talents. Buff, Straub, and Hensman would be architecture’s version of a super group. And, the hits kept coming.

SILVER LAKE THE GARDUNO-HEISER HOUSE, RAUL F. GARDUNO

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

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).
