Located just above Mulholland Drive, this beautifully updated home still maintains its glamorous midcentury vibe. Built in 1961 by celebrated Los Angeles firm Buff & Hensman, the post-and-beam abode features wraparound floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors that bring the spectacular surroundings into the minimalist interior. Set at the end of a private gated driveway, the property, according to the listing, "feels like an architectural compound down a lushly landscaped path."

The post-and-beam construction is beautifully complemented by walls of glass which frame the home's breathtaking panoramic views.

The three-bedroom, three-bath home recently received a sensitive renovation that seamlessly integrates new cabinetry and built-ins with the home's original interiors. (Period-appropriate interior finishes include terrazzo and tile.) The lovely compound also includes a post-and-beam guesthouse nestled next to the swimming pool.

The gourmet kitchen features panoramic views and Sub-Zero, Viking, and Fisher Paykel appliances.

The open-plan layout is bright and airy.

Hardwood flooring runs throughout the home.

The minimalist living room includes built-in seating.

If you combined the work of I.M. Pei and Eero Saarinen, the result might very well look like the Platner Collection (1962).
