In 2001, renowned modernist architect Pierre Koenig designed a thoughtful renovation and addition to the 1947 residence of journalist Jeffrey Ressner. Today, the home presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a charming mid-century situated in prime Brentwood. Main level features bright, open living spaces, three bedrooms, plus a full bath. Koenig's steel and glass addition commands the second floor, offering a fourth bedroom or office, along with another full bath. A spacious front yard, garden courtyard, and secluded backyard complete the outdoor spaces, along with a detached garage. Moments from the shops, restaurants, and farmers market along San Vicente, this residence awaits its next fortunate owner's vision.
