Published by

Named by the City of Beverly Hills as one of their "Master Architects," there is no doubt Richard Dorman's legacy lives on in this quintessential midcentury abode. Located off Mulholland Drive in Sherman Oaks, the dwelling has been beautifully restored, and still maintains all of its period charm and character. With four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, the 2,226-square-foot property features walls of glass in every room, tongue-and-groove ceilings, terrazzo floors, a brick inlay fireplace, and a spacious, open-plan living area that leads out to an alluring, large pool. Now on the market for $2,649,000, scroll ahead for a peek inside. 

The post-and-beam construction has a dramatic carport entrance which showcases the home's clean, midcentury lines.

The Citizenry Ravi Dhurrie Rug

A classic dhurrie-style rug prewashed for that perfectly broken-in, had-it-forever look. Meticulously handwoven from lightweight (not to mention, soft) cotton and hand-dyed in rich, mustard hue, this accent rug brings a warm, inviting feel to any bedroom or entryway. Handwoven and hand-dyed by a group of 15 master artisans in Banskho, India, each rug takes 5 days to complete. All made start-to-finish in a fair trade environment.
