An L.A. Midcentury Home With Spectacular Views Lists For $3.8M

You can feel the midcentury magic emanating from this gorgeous home.

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.
