Step Back in Time in This Midcentury Now Asking $1.4M
Located in the quiet suburban neighborhood of Granada Hills in Los Angeles, this classic midcentury abode features five bedrooms, five baths, and 4,095 square feet of charming living space.
Originally designed by Joe B. Jordan, AIA—an architect who was responsible for many notable structures around the area—the historic residence has been lovingly cared for throughout the years and possesses a perfectly preserved 60s sense of style. The groovy, open-plan living space boasts terrazzo floors, a dual-sided fireplace, soaring 17-foot ceilings, tongue-and-groove details, plus custom glass and doors throughout. Yet, perhaps the home's most unique feature is its own bomb shelter, where through a code-locked door you can step back in time.
The well-preserved midcentury home sits on a half-acre lot near the Knollwood Country Club in Granada Hills. The lot features a gorgeous outdoor space that includes a sprawling lawn, a covered patio, and a swimming pool and spa.
The home is like stepping into a time capsule.
The stunning interiors feature an authentic midcentury-modern material palette that includes original terrazzo flooring, brick, and warm wood paneling.
The open-plan living space is anchored by a grand dual-sided fireplace. Extensive glazing brings a strong sense of the outdoors in and keeps the interiors bright and airy.
The tongue-and-groove ceiling is another classic midcentury feature.
