Set high in legendary Beachwood Canyon with absolutely breathtaking views, this Bauhaus Mediterranean, 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence is a true original. An effortless fusion of classic and contemporary design, it features one-foot-thick walls, steel-framed casement windows, and a sculptural interplay of mass and light. The result feels both grounded and ethereal-anchored in its hillside setting yet open to sweeping vistas beyond.Inside, sunlight pours through tall, multi-pane steel sash windows, illuminating hardwood floors, exposed beams, and softly curved walls. The living room centers on a fireplace, flowing into a formal dining area that opens to a chef's kitchen with soaring ceilings plus stainless-steel appliances. Throughout, handcrafted Moroccan-tiled baths and custom details bring a sense of artistry and texture.A one-of-one creation, the home was conceived by a fine arts painter and original designer whose work still graces the walls. The result is a living piece of art-expressive, soulful, and unmistakably individual. From nearly every room, views stretch past the glittering lights of downtown and the greenery of Griffith Park to the serene hillsides of Beachwood Canyon.Private and secluded yet open and light-filled, the home captures the duality that defines Los Angeles itself: artful, grounded, and effortlessly original. Just moments from Beachwood Village cafe's and Lake Hollywood's hidden trails and minutes from the heart of Hollywood and its studios-this residence stands as one of the canyon's most distinctive and inspired homes.
