About This Home
As of June 2020BACK ON THE MARKET. Buyers did not perform. Rare opportunity to own a Mid-Century Modern architectural home in the Montecito Drive Residential Historic District. The one-story house is one of the "platform houses" built in 1964 by the architect Richard Kearney with John Pugsley on stilts over the canyon with beautiful views. According to Survey LA, this is one of the original 39 homes and one of the 23 remaining contributing structures. Common elements are rectangular plans, unadorned walls, and wood siding with minimal fenestration on the primary faades with a flat roof. The house is accessible from the street through an enclosed courtyard with trees. Kitchen, dining, and living room are one continuous open space with sliding glass doors. An additional den could be used as office space. Two separate bedrooms each with one bathroom create an indoor/outdoor flow from the front to the back. Kitchen and bathrooms are fully remodeled. Original wooden floor through the house. Large lot.
