This midcentury modern compound in Los Angeles feels like it was transported from Palm Springs. Set high up above the street, the west-facing views from the spacious formal living room feature jetliner views during the day and gorgeous sunsets and twinkling lights at night. Keep an eye on that refreshing pool and spa from the large expanse of glass open to the main living area. Stunningly landscaped backyard with a separate 500+ sq ft cabana! If Dwell Magazine came to life, it would be THIS house. 5 bedrooms (2 main suites!) plus a separate office/zoom room! 2 of those bedrooms and 1 bath are tucked away upstairs to afford you privacy downstairs. This amazing neighborhood may be the largest collection of Midcentury homes in Los Angeles, with wonderful sense of community and warm neighbors.
