Originally designed by renowned architects Buff & Hensman A.I.A, this remarkable residence stands as a classic expression of Southern California modernism. Set at the end of a gated drive just off Mulholland, the home captures sweeping views of the city skyline, surrounding mountains and iconic Los Angeles landmarks. Its dramatic hillside setting enhances the architectural experience while offering privacy, serenity and a rare sense of retreat above the city.
A defining example of Post and Beam Architectural design, the home celebrates openness, structure and light. Walls of floor to ceiling glass appear throughout the residence, framing the ever changing landscape while inviting natural light into the interiors. The seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor living reflects the architectural philosophy that helped shape the mid-century modern movement in Los Angeles.
The residence has undergone a thoughtful restoration that honors the original vision of Buff & Hensman A.I.A while introducing refined updates for contemporary living. Rich hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by custom cabinetry, carefully preserved period-correct tile and terrazzo surfaces that speak to the enduring beauty of mid-century modern design.
At the heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen features Sub-Zero, Viking and Fisher Paykel appliances along with the same breathtaking views enjoyed by the main living areas. True to the principles of Post and Beam Architectural design, the open layout creates an effortless flow between the kitchen, dining area and living room, offering an elegant setting for everyday comfort as well as memorable entertaining.
The property unfolds like a private architectural compound, complete with a separate guest house and a sun-drenched pool reached by a lush landscaped path. Canyon vistas and the distant lights of Hollywood create a cinematic backdrop, enhancing the home’s sense of escape. Ideally positioned near Mulholland Drive, this exceptional Buff & Hensman A.I.A residence offers convenient access to the studios, Hollywood, Beverly Hills shopping and celebrated Los Angeles dining.
