Designed in 1958 by noted Los Angeles architect Young Woo, this post-and-beam residence is a striking expression of classic California modernism, thoughtfully updated for contemporary living while remaining remarkably true to its original architectural vision. Offered by only its second owners, the home blends iconic mid century lines with warm, livable interiors and dramatic canyon views from nearly every angle. Privately sited on an expansive hillside lot, the residence is set behind a discreet enclosed entrance, creating a rare sense of calm and tranquility just moments from the best of the Westside. Floor-to-ceiling glass spans the rear of the home, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out while filling the interiors with shifting natural light throughout the day. Original architectural details remain beautifully intact, including rich tiger oak floors, clean post-and-beam lines, and a distinctive fireplace that anchors the dramatic living and dining spaces. The open floor plan flows effortlessly to multiple outdoor entertaining areas, expansive decks, and a classic kidney-shaped pool and hot tub framed by mature landscaping and canyon vistas. A thoughtfully renovated chef's kitchen pairs timeless design with modern functionality, featuring premium appliances, marble countertops, and generous prep and gathering space. The primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with spa-like amenities including a soaking tub positioned to capture serene hillside views, a custom walk-in closet, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The grounds offer an exceptional balance of entertaining space with grassy play areas, gardens, dining patios, and intimate moments tucked throughout the property. Surrounded by other architecturally significant midcentury residences, the home sits within a cohesive and highly sought-after architectural enclave that feels both private and deeply connected to Los Angeles design history. A rare opportunity to own a highly intact and emotionally resonant example of Southern California post-and-beam architecture that is warm, sophisticated, and uniquely suited to modern canyon living.
