Description

Perched above Beachwood Canyon with sweeping canyon and city views, architecturally significant 1961 mid-century modern residence designed and built by award winning Los Angeles architect Richard Banta. Set delicately into the hillside, the home is a refined expression of California modernism, defined by elevated construction, clean lines, and expansive walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between interior space & the surrounding landscape. Elevated above the terrain, the structure allows the natural environment to remain visually dominant while thoughtfully framing the canyon and skyline beyond. The light-filled, open-concept living space unfolds seamlessly to an expansive terrace, where the Hollywood Sign is prominently framed from both the living room and balcony offering an iconic and unmistakably Los Angeles backdrop. It is a setting equally suited for intimate daily living and elevated entertaining. The street level carport is a signature feature of Banta designed homes. This is a rare offering for the discerning buyer seeking architectural significance, iconic views, and the opportunity to thoughtfully enhance the space while honoring its design pedigree, a true piece of Los Angeles history. Ideally situated just moments from Beachwood Cafe, the shops and restaurants of Franklin Village, and convenient access to the 101.
