Far from its modest beginnings as a quaint, 1951 ranch-style hillside home, the chrysalis of its recent redesign has resulted in a dramatic, modern sculpture that incorporates many of the tenets of the modern movement. Oversized glass windows and sliding glass doors provide access to south facing views high above street level. Vistas of the entire Los Angeles basin can be experienced from the common rooms of the house, wrap-around deck, master bedroom and its private patio, as well as the pool and accompanying patio areas. Additionally, the open floor plan, outdoor barbeque, and lanai provide the perfect template for intimate gatherings as well as large-scale entertaining.
