Another fabulous mid-century hits the market? Just another day in L.A. these days as things have picked up in the last few weeks with more and more great listings. This home is no exception. This one-story gated house in a great part of Brentwood is on a very big lot (14,157 square feet). The listing says the lot alone is worth the asking price and it would be a great place to build your dream house. But teat this down? That would be sad.

Here’s a nice updated mid-century (1963) in the hills of Brentwood. This contemporary remodel was done by architect Eric Meyerowitz and designer Brooke Gardner. I really like how light and open it is with a nice flow between the living room, dining room and kitchen. I love the dark oak floors as well. We saw a house yesterday in Encino with similar floors and that really made the house even more amazing in my opinion. Same goes for here.
Home Sixties Home
Since going on the MAK Tour back in October I have been craving another mid-century home tour. So with that in mind, I am very excited about the Brentwood Home Sixities Home tour sponsored by the LA Conservancy coming up on April 18th. One of the stops is the Franks House (above) – a redwood treehouse bachelor pad notorious with the neighbors for swinging parties. With a hillside view of the ocean it will be great to see in person.
Another featured home is the sprawling custom residence built in 1961 for Dr. and Mrs. Morris Frankel in Mandeville Canyon. Designed by Ephraim Baran, architect of the distinctive Directors Guild of America corporate headquarters in Hollywood, the house is a virtual time capsule of sixties architecture and interior design.
Tickets are $40 for members ($60 for the general public), which includes shuttle transportation and an automatic reservation to the Sixties Residential Architecture Exploration With Jan Horn on Wednesday, April 14 at 8 p.m. Tours will start every half-hour beginning at 10:00 a.m. The entire tour will take approximately 2 1/2 hours to complete.

I meant to post this when it first hit the market a few weeks ago, but it somehow slipped through the cracks. What caught my eye was a charming mid-century ranch home located a stone’s throw from the 101 in Encino (I have yet to visit the house, but I don’t think traffic noise is an issue). I like the indoor/outdoor flow, big backyard with pool (the lot is 10,227 square feet), high beam ceilings, skylights and dual fireplaces.
Avenel Cooperative Unit Hits The Market!

Days like today remind about why I love working in real estate in Los Angeles as this is one of two very exciting listings to hit the market today (check out the other one here). Located in the Avenel Cooperative Housing Project in Silver Lake which helped put Los Angeles on the map as the epicenter for the Modernist movement in American domestic architecture, this property was designed by architect Gregory Ain in 1947. I was able to see four units in this housing complex last October (check out my writeup here) as part of the MAK Tour and I pretty much blown away by the unit’s simplicity, sophistication and charm.

Here’s a great mid-century hitting the market for the first time ever. Located in the Royal Woods neighborhood of Sherman Oaks, this home is like stepping back in time to the 1950s (it was built in 1954). A number of trademark mid-century touches can be found – sliding room dividers, pocket doors, questionable paint choices – that will make this well-preserved home very appealing to many buyers.

My new listing has finally hit the market! This two bedroom, one bathroom condo is located in the mid-century building (Allyn E. Morris 1973) overlooking Echo Park lake. It has two floors, is in great condition, has numerous upgrades (granite counter-tops, hardwood floors, etc), and features this tremendous view from one of the bedrooms as well as the spacious balcony:
This unit is priced to sell and is perfect for someone looking to live in a stylish and affordable pad right in the heart of Echo Park in a great building (with a pool!). The first open house will be Sunday, March 7th. More photos after the break.

I’m liking this new mid-century listing in the Hollywood Hills. At nearly 3,000 square feet and 5 bedrooms (plus a maid’s room that can be used as an office) you really get a lot of house for this price which is nice to see. The pool is very clearly the centerpiece as you can see it from almost every photo. The “see forever” views stretch from Downtown to Palos Verdes and you also have a view of the Hollywood Reservoir which is a nice bonus. I really like the sliding glass floor to ceiling doors/windows throughout the house which really show off the views. The kitchen is totally updated and there are walk-in closets and a wet bar. Basically all the trimmings you’d expect at this price point.

I really like this new mid-century listing in Laurel Canyon. The design and floorplan is simple but makes great use of the canyon surroundings – and I totally love that red door! Built in 1959 and designed by Otto J. Koruer, this is a spacious home with an open living room complete with a block fireplace centerpiece.
There is a flat yard with patio areas as well as striking views of the mountains.
This is a desirable part of Laurel Canyon (it’s located in the Wonderland School District) so this should attract a lot of attention. I will definitely be checking it out!

I got a chance to see this new triplex income property in person a few weekends ago as it is being listed by my good friends Dan and Matt. They brought me there because they know how much I love a good mid-century and this certainly did not disappoint. I only got to see the three-bedroom owner’s unit, but what I saw had fantastic indoor/outdoor flow (with a giant yard seen below), a large updated kitchen, and nice-sized bedrooms with lots of natural light.
The eat-in kitchen has updated appliances and a great view from the corner windows:
Two of the three units will be delivered vacant with the third being rented for $2200 a month. This is a great opportunity to live in a beautiful location while generating income at the same time.
