This mid century modern Beverly Hills A-frame masterpiece is a true tropical retreat. Built in 1958 by the current owner, the home features post and beam construction with walls of glass that overlook the pool and lush landscaping. The unique residence graced the pages of Architectural Digest in 1965. The open floor plan is ideal for entertaining and the backyard embodies outdoor living at its best. With its peace and privacy, this home is the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The special property is poised for its next chapter.

The owners set out to create an experience in the home bringing influence from their many trips to Hawaii and incorporating island elements, volcanic rock, waterfalls, interior planters in to the space. With its post and beam construction and floor-to-ceiling windows, the house is light and airy, with stunning views of the surrounding natural beauty.

Original terrazzo flooring, walls of glass, a strong connection to the outdoors and a focal point fireplace create the perfect family room. There is even a dedicated wet bar with vintage detailing creating an amazing entertainment experience for friends and family, sure to start a conversation.

An interior courtyard brings sunlight into the middle of the home. Imagine this space tricked out with sago palms and lush tropical foliage, simply superb, not to mention the health benefits of an abundance of indoor plant life.

Textural materials, wood and stone, create a warm and inviting architectural design. The large home set on an expansive lot provides a rare opportunity to reimagine this iconic mid century A-frame to create a your own contemporary island retreat.

If it has been your dream to live in a home that feels like a lush tropical island resort, it doesn’t get much better than this.
