A rare opportunity to own an architecturally documented Palmer & Krisel mid-century home in Reseda’s Yolanda Gardens. Built by Cal-Frank Homes, this updated 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence retains the signature elements that would come to define Palmer & Krisel’s Southern California modernism: vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, clerestory windows, abundant natural light and an easy connection between indoors and out. Thoughtfully updated while respecting its mid-century character, the home is designed for quintessential California living. The open living space leads to a private backyard with a heated pool and spa, creating an extension of the home for entertaining, relaxing and year-round enjoyment. Its setting is equally special. Tucked into a quiet residential pocket with no through traffic, the property offers a sense of privacy and calm that can be hard to find in the Valley, while remaining convenient to shopping, dining and freeway access. Before Palmer & Krisel became synonymous with some of Southern California’s most recognizable mid-century architecture, Yolanda Gardens was part of the firm’s work bringing modernist design to everyday residential life. Today, 6504 Rhea offers the opportunity to own a documented piece of that history in a house updated for comfortable modern living: modern kitchen, smart home features, laundry room & pantry, a private pool & spa, generous outdoor space, new appliances, roof and HVAC all in a peaceful neighborhood setting. The direct-access two car garage offers future expansion opportunities and the low-maintenance native plant gardens keep it green. As a fun bonus, the home’s original 1954 City of Los Angeles building permit names Palmer & Krisel.
