About This Home

The Thorgusen Residence, 1953 | The Thorgusen Compound | A Timeless Masterpiece of Mid-Century Modernism | $9,000,000 | 5 Bed | 5 Bath | 6,426 S/F | A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a rare architectural compound in the heart of the Hollywood Hills, this dual-residence estate is comprised of 9029 & 9031 Hollywood Hills Road. This one of a kind estate offers an unparalleled blend of mid-century modern artistry, privacy, and sophisticated design. Conceived in 1953 by renowned architect Robert "Boulder" Thorgusen and set amidst a lush landscape designed by iconic modernist landscape architect Garrett Eckbo, this offering is more than a home, it's a living work of art. 9029 Hollywood Hills Road "The Forest" 2 Bed | 2 Bath | 2,326 S/F Tucked away on a secluded lot and hidden from street view, 9029 Hollywood Hills Rd reveals itself gradually through a private approach, culminating in a dramatic entrance marked by a signature pie-pan carport and folded plate rooflines. Inside, expansive walls of glass blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor living, creating an ethereal atmosphere enriched by custom lighting and tranquil water features. The interior architecture is sculptural and immersive, with varying ceiling heights and spatial rhythms that guide visitors through moments of serenity and reflection. The private master suite, with its own fireplace, opens directly onto a lush, garden escape. A formal dining area overlooks a serene pool, while the main living room features a mid-century fireplace and sweeping glass walls that bring the forest inside. 9031 Hollywood Hills Road "The Jewel Box" 3 Bed | 3 Bath | 4,100 S/F Behind the same private gated drive lies 9031 Hollywood Hills Rd An elegant dream expression of post-and-beam design. Floor-to-ceiling glass invites in endless green views; custom light boxes provide dynamic visual warmth throughout the interior. A dramatic central pool flows beneath one wing of the house, creating a show-stopping architectural feature rarely seen in residential design. The primary suite offers a private deck and is paired with a soaring flex space ideal for a gallery, artist's studio, or executive home office. Multiple patios, sitting areas, and a cascading waterfall further enhance the property's seamless integration with nature. The Compound 5 Bed | 5 Bath | 6,426 S/F Together, these two distinct extraordinary residences set on a shared gated driveway offer an extraordinary, assembled compound opportunity ideal for multigenerational living or a luxury guest retreat. United by architectural heritage and modern sensibility, this is a turnkey estate rich in Los Angeles' design legacy and ready to be experienced together as a Rare Architectural Compound. A turnkey offering steeped in Los Angeles' rich architectural legacy, The Thorgusen Residence is more than a home, it is an enduring work of art.
