Just Listed: The Crowder House, Crowder & Associates (1964).

Developed originally as a vacation home for the architect's own family, its design fully embraced the tenets of the mid-century modern era from which it came. It reveals itself to be as forward looking and timeless as the day it was built. The current owners undertook a multi-year renovation of the home's systems and finishes to bring it into the future. A refined palette of natural materials were carefully chosen and carried throughout: brick flooring, custom-built walnut cabinetry and paneling, and a gridwork of ceramic tile and concrete block walls. The home's clear expression of structure, sophisticated use of volume and space, and expansive walls of glass connecting it to the outdoors and distant views all provide for daily inspiration. The house turns it back to the street and towards these views, utilizing clerestory windows and a well organized plan to provide natural light and open space without sacrificing privacy. The open plan of interior spaces are allowed to seamlessly intertwine with vast outdoor areas for entertaining and play. System updates included central HVAC, upgraded plumbing & electrical, lighting design, dual pane glazing, Gaggenau appliances, built-in Bowers Wilkins home audio system, and an extensive renovation of exterior spaces including the pool, spa, built-in bbq area, landscape, and hardscape. Located in a private and stunning hilltop setting- with panoramic views of Dana Point Harbor, city lights, and the surrounding coastal landscape. A rare opportunity to live within architectural history, well situated in one of Southern California's most idyllic locations.

Just Listed: Topanga Canyon Modern (1973)

A house built for its site- positioned atop the crest of a hill to offer unobstructed views of the Santa Monica Mountains to the north, scenic canyon views to the south, and maximum privacy for its gardens, patios, and decks. It was originally built in 1973, with a modernist design vocabulary that references The Sea Ranch in Northern California. The post-and-beam structure, with its steep shed roofs and vaulted ceilings reaching up to 14 feet in height, enhances the impression of openness and space. Clerestory windows follow the roofline, delivering natural light in unexpected ways. Redwood decks found at both sides of the home are accessed via glass sliding doors, creating a continuity between indoors and out. To the south, a trellis shelters the interior and exterior dining areas from the afternoon sun. A barrel sauna, outdoor shower area, and storage room are nearby. From the southeast edge of the property, an extraordinary view of Downtown Los Angeles. The surrounding gardens are a combination of drought tolerant, native, and mediterranean plants including several citrus trees. The rare Topanga Canyon home with professional updating, newer systems, top of line kitchen equipment, double pane wood windows + doors, concrete paved drive, and an advertised square footage matching with the assessor's record. With its combination of thoughtful design and modern system updates, ocean breezes and nearby hiking trails- this home and location embody all of the most desirable attributes of Topanga living.

Just Listed | Open Today 1-4pm: The C. Gaverick Apartments, 1958, Edward Killingsworth, FAIA.

Perhaps no other midcentury architect elevated California Modernism to the level of elegance and grace as Long Beach's very own Edward Killingsworth. Killingsworth's contributions to John Entenza's Case Study Program conveyed a sophisticated grandeur missing from Modernism's more modest roots. This distinction propelled Killingsworth beyond single-family homes to projects that grew in size and scale, as he became known for designing grand residential buildings throughout Southern California and luxurious hotels in jet-set destinations like Hawaii, Japan, Malaysia, Guam, and Indonesia. The C. Gaverick Apartments, now a 12-unit condominium complex, is Killingsworth's sole beachfront multi-family project in Southern California. This remodeled two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse suite showcases Killingsworth's signature oversized floor-to-ceiling glass windows and provides sweeping ocean views from every room. Recent updates include refinished oak floors, upgraded appliances, refreshed bathrooms, central AC, and three generously improved skylights enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. This rare, move-in-ready property is situated directly on the sand, with private beach access, and features an outdoor deck overlooking Alamitos Beach with expansive views extending to Catalina Island and unobstructed views up and down the bluff, even capturing the downtown skyline. Also included is covered parking for one car with a large lockable storage unit. Located adjacent to Bluff Park, with miles of coastal beach walking trails at your feet, this condominium is steps away from the best of Long Beach and Belmont.

✨The Thompson/Moseley Residence, Buff, Straub & Hensman (1959). An early masterpiece of gabled roofs lifted by a slender post and beam structure. As described by Don Hensman in the book on their work- "the use of a consistent 2 foot x 8 inch structural module creates a rhythm to the design, giving a comforting inevitability and unity to the elements and spaces. This cohesive effect is enhanced by the use of natural materials and an emphasis on visible construction detail. Furniture is minimized by the extensive use of built-in pieces."

Just Listed: The Fox Residence, Paul L. Williamson (1957). An extraordinarily well preserved mid-century modern post and beam home situated on a more than 11,000 square foot lot in Long Beach's Los Cerritos neighborhood. Offered for only the second time since built, its current owners have taken great care to respect the home's originality wherever updates have been made. At the street facing, a bright white rock roof and trellised entryway with red door give clues of what lies beyond. Inside, a large double sided stone fireplace lands at the apex of a beamed ceiling, providing delineation for what is an otherwise vast open plan. Obscure glass panels on each side allow light to pass between these rooms throughout the day. Honey colored Birch paneling and built-ins enrich a skylit living space, which features a wall of glass and sliding doors that face out to the expansive rear yard and pool. The more than quarter acre lot appears even larger than its measure- with a sprawling lawn, pool, patio, and pool house all well placed on the property. Privacy hedging and the canopy of a majestic Pepper Tree make for a parklike setting. The detached pool house/studio measures approximately 200sf, and has not been included in advertised size of home. Located amongst the estate properties of the Los Cerritos/Virginia Country Club area- with its tree lined streets, historic homes, excellent school district, and an incredibly quiet, peaceful atmosphere.

Open Today 1-4pm: The A. Starr Residence (1956), William M. Mann.

A rare opportunity to find a fully renovated architectural compound with incredible panoramic views on a flat lot in one of Echo Park's most coveted hillside enclaves. Originally designed by USC architect and educator William M. Mann, this compound has been completely reenvisioned by designer Andreas E. G. Larsson, who has built a name for himself by sensitively restoring pedigreed houses by noted architects such as Neutra, A. Quincy Jones, Kappe and Calvin Straub.
