A Modernist Dream Home in the Hollywood Hills
From the Listing
Sited on a lot originally owned by Julius Shulman is this majestic home by modernist architect Dike Nagano, AIA – 1962. Up a semi private drive lies this gated and private mid-century modern home. Mr. Nagano was known for both private residences (including a collaboration with Richard Neutra) and commercial structures like his design for Northrup Architectural Systems built the same year as this magnificent home. The house is sited well on the 20,000+ square foot lot to take advantage of privacy and ultimate enjoyment of the lush landscaping the property provides. The home features walls of glass and skylights throughout leaving the house awash in natural sunlight. The designer done renovation pays homage to the home’s original minimalism yet affords the occupants with amenities for today’s lifestyle. The stunning Ernestomeda kitchen features Gaggenau, Miele and Wolf appliances along with a custom stainless-steel cooking station with integrated sink and cooktop. The limestone flooring was imported from Florence, Italy. An exceptionally large pool allows for the casual dip or your choice of sporting activities. The patio off the pool has plenty of shaded area to enjoy the afternoons if you prefer to stay out of the sun. There’s even a pool room with lockers, a shower and sauna for guests to make them feel like they’re vacationing at the beach club. Conveniently located on Woodrow Wilson allows the occupants to access all the amenities either side of the hill has to offer.
