Even after extensive remodeling and updating, our House of the Week is a quintessential example of Laurel Canyon architecture. It’s also a perfect template for how outfit a Post and Beam style home with on-trend design, while maintaining its Mid-Century Modern heart and soul.
Down a winding street and resting on an incline and shaded by tall trees and dense vegetation, the exterior of this home is all clean lines and walls of glass. A new earth-tone finished exterior is complemented by the light grey brick fireplace, freshly painted white roof overhangs and bright orange door.
Inside the 1956 Post and Beam, you’ll find clerestory windows and ample skylights. The open floor-plan and custom woodwork and built-ins offer an excellent use of space and maximize the square footage
An all new cook’s kitchen features dark wood cabinets and high-end stainless steel appliances. Polished concrete floors create a sense of separation between the cooking and living areas.
The bedrooms and bathrooms have also been updated with clerestory windows and new finishes.
The outdoors offers a “true entertainer’s backyard”. A new multi-level deck has more built-ins, these for lounging and reading as well as a fire pit and drought-resistant landscaping.
A pergola is already wired with lighting for all your al-fresco dining dreams.
Other highlights include, bamboo floors, tankless water heater, central air/heat, covered parking and smart storage. The property is also located in award-winning Carpenter Community Charter.
