Built at a time when the space race was just launching and Hawaii became the nation’s fiftieth state, famed architect Charles Du Bois was designing what were to become “Mid Century Modern” homes in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs. This Woodland Hills south of the boulevard home’s iconic features include Palos Verde stone fireplace and siding, black slate entry, and a rock roof.

Design elements such as vaulted ceilings, clerestory, and large picture windows create walls of glass, surrounding you with ample light and pleasant views of flowers, greenery, and the retro shaped swimming pool on this spacious and private 12,500+ sqft parcel. The enormous kitchen doubles as a family room featuring vintage blue tile countertops and cool golden yellow flooring. There is an abundance of wood cabinets which includes a pantry and book & display shelving. Retro pink and grayish-blue tiles accent the bathrooms, one bath attached to the primary suite and the other a Jack & Jill set up with marble counters. Walnut tone beam ceilings and wood paneling in the spacious living & dining room compliments the stone fireplace with a large hearth. Sliding glass doors open to the covered patio with views of rose bushes, grassy grounds, orange trees, and lemon trees. Award-winning charter schools include Calabash Elementary, Hale Middle School, and El Camino High School. One family has owned this wonderful home for over 55 years; it is tired and needs TLC. Now, it’s your turn to bring it back to its classic Mid-Mod roots or re-imagine it for 2025. Use those long summer days to build your sweat equity! This home is priced to sell. Restored and remodeled homes nearby have sold in the $1.65 to $1.85 million range. Calabasas Commons, Sagebrush Cantina, Bristol Farms, and Westfield Village are nearby, providing convenient options for retail shopping and all levels of dining! Easy access to Pierce College and Highway 101 too! With a big down payment and 360 easy, monthly payments (aka a 30-year loan) this home could be yours! (LOL.) Opportunity is knocking! When all is said and done, you’ll enjoy chillin’ by the pool or BBQing with friends and family.
