Perched behind gates on nearly an acre just north of Mulholland, this extraordinary Mid-Century Modern estate is a rare architectural offering with sweeping sunset views and celebrated pedigree. Originally developed in 1956 by Modern Trend Construction Company, known for its partnership with noted architect Richard Dorman, the residence stands as a significant example of Southern California post-and-beam design, recognized for its contribution to the region's architectural legacy.

Major upgrades include a new roof, updated electrical, all-new plumbing and sewer lines, newer HVAC, a commercial-grade pool heater, and owned Tesla solar panels.The chef's kitchen is anchored by a coveted baby blue LaCanche range with French plate cooktop, custom cabinetry, and Cle zellige and terrazzo tile work inspired by original terrazzo uncovered during restoration. Designer finishes continue throughout, including Moroccan limestone flooring, House of Hackney and Gucci wallpaper, handcrafted ARTO tile, steam shower, and freestanding soaking tubs.The home features four bedrooms and five baths, including two oversized ensuite retreats with walk-in closets. A separate office overlooks the pool and canyon views, while outdoor spaces unfold as a private resort complete with water-wise landscaping, mature fruit trees, raised garden beds, covered outdoor kitchen, heated lounge, fire pit, poolside changing rooms, gorgeous Gucci heron powder room, and dramatic entertaining areas.
