About this single-family home

RARE MID-CENTURY MODERN ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE IN MINT CONDITION: the Estes Residence, designed by renowned Streamline Moderne architect, William Kesling. In 1936, the Los Angeles County Assessor visited The Estes Residence and described it as a newly-completed "modernistic" home with "special" quality construction, which was the highest quality of its kind at the time. The home was renovated in 2002 by Mills Studio, completing the classic aerodynamic design which is the hallmark of the timeless exterior. An incredibly bright living room boasts the original oak floors, a flagstone fireplace and hearth along with rounded steel casement windows with views of the lush surrounding Hollywood hillsides and a peek at the Hollywood Sign! A large dining area with cork flooring overlooks the sophisticated backyard, which includes several patios, a deck and an ascending spiral staircase leading to a rooftop deck with built in benches and rectangular light portals, ideal for entertaining and drinks with friends. Across a sleek bridge sits a large primary suite comprised of a potential media room or office with large closets and Murphy bed, and on the other side, sleeping quarters with an oversized shower and swiveled floating door that flows out to the garden, with space for a spa or small pool. A remarkable weaving of ageless and contemporary architecture, the commanding lower rear of the property features an avant-garde entertaining space with a covered metal fire-pit and floating bubble chair. Below the main structure is a private studio unit with its own entrance, a spacious kitchen, bathroom and mini-spilt system, ideal for guests or additional income. A detached 1-car garage is perfect for a workspace, office or gym. Every window in the home is an array of nature framed within sharp architectural styles that blend together to create an experience unlike any property in the City. Recent upgrades include a new roof in 2021, renovated bathroom, quartz kitchen counter tops and more. An incredible opportunity now available for a rare transfer of legacy. Updated security system and alarms. Offered "AS IS", buyers to do their own due diligence.
