Upon entering this four bedroom, two bathroom architectural gem, one is immediately made aware of why its architect, Takashi Shida, was such a highly esteemed member of the Los Angeles architectural community. Expanses of glass overlook four pocket gardens and an absolutely stunning rear view toward the hills and city of Los Angeles. Built in 1975, the home is a modern structure designed as a series of compact, one-story, flat-roof interlocking cubes. Expertly designed considering its residents' needs and usage patterns, the plan revolves around the kitchen/family room with the major spaces oriented to the views at the rear. The master suite is to one side, with the remaining three bedrooms and laundry room to the other side. A central hub common area with kitchen, family room, breakfast area, dining room, living room, and an office are at the center of the home. This home boasts hardwood floors, skylights, new carpet, a gas fireplace and expanses of glass walls, doors and windows. Don't miss your chance to own such an elegant home, where you can take in the gardens outside and the beauty of Los Angeles from nearly every room!
