This classic mid century Beachwood Canyon home, masterfully crafted in the 1950s by architect Robert Malinoff, celebrates timeless design and architectural ingenuity. Perched in the tranquil hills leading up to the iconic Hollywood Sign, the residence captures the essence of mid-century modern architecture with its clean lines and open spaces, which invite the outdoors in. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows foster a dialog with the surrounding Beachwood Canyon landscape. The living room’s fireplace’s design complements the mid-century modern style, featuring bold concrete blocks and bricks that celebrate geometry and provide a division of space. The seamless integration of the fireplace with built-in seating exemplifies the home’s unique ability to harmonize stylish design with a welcoming sense of comfort.
Inside, the home retains its original details, paying homage to its architectural heritage. Rich natural wood finishes create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while minimalist design elements showcase Malinoff’s forward-thinking architectural design. Post and beam construction allows pavilion-style spaces to flow freely from one area to another.
A breakfast bar in the kitchen is the perfect place to start your day. The architect has created a smart design with recessed light and storage above that floats in the interior space and serves as a divider between the hall and kitchen.
Every room in this mid century home feels like a cozy retreat, offering warmth and tranquility against the backdrop of the lush landscape beyond. Bedrooms with soaring ceilings and expansive canyon views add to the aesthetic appeal.
The primary bedroom provides direct access to a private patio. Clerestory windows expand the space and bring nature in. As sunlight streams through the windows, it bathes the space in a soft, golden glow and celebrates all there is to love about mid century design. Quality craftsmanship can be seen throughout the home, with wood-clad walls, ceilings and disappearing window frames.
Outdoors, a cantilevered terrace, expands the interior of the home while providing the perfect place for alfresco dining and gatherings, large or small. Additionally, there is another outdoor dining area below.
