Peek Into the Midcentury Modern Masterpiece That Just Hit the Market
Do most of your home furnishings come from West Elm? Do you worship at the temple of Frank Lloyd Wright? Do you love a good Eames chair?
If you answered 'yes' to any of the above, you're probably going to want this house. Lucky for you, it's for sale.
Built in 1952, the 2,908-square-foot home on Drummond Street in Braeswood Place is listed for $1,275,000. Originally designed by architects Phillip G. Willard and Lucian Hood, the midcentury home (now on its second owner) was carefully restored by renowned Los Angeles-based AREA Architecture in 1999. Renovations included updates like a new kitchen and master and guest bathrooms, and designers took pains to mirror the home's original architectural intent.
With three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, the home features both original elements and modern updates. The former include a pitched redwood ceiling with fir beams, a hand-chiseled flagstone fireplace, and fluted glass detailing; the latter take the form of high-end finishes, Dornbracht fixtures, a double oven, wine cooler, and more.
Sitting on 0.6 park-like acres, the lot also boasts an in-ground pool, patio and deck, fenced-in backyard, and plenty of green space.
