Craig Ellwood's Iconic Smith House in L.A. Is Listed For $3M
Originally constructed in 1958 by influential modernist architect Craig Ellwood, the Smith House has been recently restored under the guidance of James Tyler, FAIA in 2018. Now, this striking midcentury abode has hit the market for $3,000,000.
A showcase of midcentury modern architecture, the Smith House is located in Crestwood Hills and has been widely published throughout the years, including an appearance in Arts & Architecture Magazine. Scroll ahead for a peek inside the two-bedroom, two-bath home.
The 1,550-square-foot hillside home features a vertical T-shaped layout and houses dramatic city and ocean views.
The vertical part of the "T" contains the living and dining rooms, which are divided by a fireplace. This area also provides the most dramatic vantage point for the sweeping views.
The property also has a 530-square-foot deck. Stairs from the deck lead to a children’s play area below.
