Upon entering this 4 bed, 2 bath architectural gem, one is immediately made aware of why its architect, Takashi Shida, was such a highly esteemed member of the Los Angeles architectural community. Expanses of glass overlook 4 pocket gardens & a stunning rear view toward the hills and city of Los Angeles. Built in 1975, the home is a modern structure designed as a series of compact, one-story, flat-roof interlocking cubes. The owner’s privacy is protected by the fact that there are few windows at the sides. However, floor to ceiling glass windows & sliding glass doors beckon the inhabitant to step out into the easy upkeep pocket gardens which extend along the rear and side of the home. The interior is elegant with a definite indoor/outdoor feel forged by the ample use of glass. Wood paneled walls complemented by hardwood floors, welcome the guest into the entryway & on into the dining room. The master suite is at the front of the home, & separate from the remaining 3 bedrooms. There is a large dressing area with multiple closets, leading to the three quarter bath and master bed. With recessed lighting, new carpeting & floor to ceiling sliding doors exiting to one of the pocket gardens, an ideal retreat has been created. The dining room opens up into the living room which boasts a wood paneled ceiling, recessed lighting, walls of glass & a coveted view of Los Angeles. The gas fireplace mantle has a sleek design, with a glass wall backdrop overlooking the gardens. A room towards the rear of the home with expansive windows could be used as a picturesque home office, or a 5th bedroom. The kitchen opens to the family room & breakfast area & serves as a hub for gathering with family or friends. The family room showcases original built in cabinetry, perfect for entertainment articles & games. A separate enclave of the home is formed by the remaining 3 beds which all boast garden views & new carpeting, the laundry room with a sink & cabinetry, & the 2nd full bathroom with a double vanity, skylight & striking custom vintage lighting. Don’t miss your chance to own such an elegant home, where you can take in the beauty of the gardens outside & the views across Los Angeles from nearly every room!
