A rare architectural offering in the heart of Upper Ladera Heights, this stunning mid-century modern home was designed by architect N.D. Ferzacca, in partnership with Robert L. Earl. The residence has been meticulously remodeled with exceptional style and taste. Blending iconic mid-century elements with elevated contemporary finishes, this impeccably reimagined mid-century home offers an inspiring canvas for modern California living.
The neighborhood, steeped in architectural history, emerged in the postwar era as one of Los Angeles’ premier neighborhoods for modernist residential design. Upper Ladera Heights attracted prominent architects such as Gregory Ain, Robert L. Earl, N.D. Ferzacca and Charles W. Wong, who envisioned sleek, forward-thinking homes that embodied the optimism and indoor-outdoor lifestyle of mid-century Southern California.
The reimagined chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, complete with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele stove, wine cooler, custom oak cabinetry and refined finishes tailored for both everyday use and entertaining. An expansive kitchen island features a pair of custom-designed alabaster light spheres that drop dramatically from the ceiling.
Step through the original terrazzo entryway of the home and into a dramatic interior where soaring ceilings and an expansive open floor plan set the tone. At the center of the space, a striking double-sided floor-to-ceiling fireplace connects the formal living/dining and den areas, creating a warm and inviting flow.
Original breeze block highlights a raised planter and elevated wraparound terrazzo fireplace hearth. New skylights draw sunlight deep into the space, while expansive glass invites the outdoors in. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully elevated, blending timeless mid-century character seamlessly paired with luxurious upgrades to create a sophisticated modern design.
Only the second time on the market, the home boasts four bedrooms and three remodeled bathrooms, all updated with an eye for detail and design.
The turnkey residence has undergone numerous improvements, featuring a newer roof and gutters, an upgraded HVAC system and ducting, two tankless water heaters and energy-efficient additions throughout, including thirty-one solar panels, an EV charger and drought-tolerant landscaping.
The timeless residence delivers on every level. Thoughtfully designed to captivate both mid-century aficionados and those seeking an updated residential living experience with a nod to the past, this re-imagined property invites you to live beautifully and boldly.
Offering seating for six, the kitchen island creates an open and inviting space perfect for quick meals and gatherings large and small. Off the kitchen, a walk-in pantry with shelves and a laundry area provides the ideal storage solutions for the essentials.
Outdoors, the resort-style backyard has undergone a complete transformation. The manicured grounds feature a refinished freeform pool and surround, an outdoor shower with decorative breeze blocks, mid-century-inspired pavers and low-maintenance artificial turf, all designed to create the ultimate private retreat.
Perfectly positioned just three miles from the burgeoning tech corridor often dubbed “Silicon Beach,” this location offers unrivaled access to SoFi Stadium, Playa del Rey’s scenic coastline, LAX, Culver City and convenient access to the 405 freeway – all while maintaining the charm and peacefulness of a serene residential enclave.
