Description
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles modernist history. Located within the historic Living-Conditioned Homes enclave of Porter Ranch, this Mid-Century Modern residence is part of the architectural legacy of Dan Palmer and William Krisel, AIA — the visionary Southern California architects known for bringing modern design out of the museum and into daily life. Built in 1958, the home carries the architectural language that made Southern California living iconic: expansive walls of glass, butterfly ceilings, exposed beams, warm wood, open space, sunlight, shade, and a constant connection to the outdoors. Warm, livable, quietly dramatic, and unmistakably Californian, it offers the rare feeling of living inside a piece of California modernism. Set on an expansive 11,100 sq. ft. lot, this approximately 1,890 sq. ft. residence has been thoughtfully upgraded for modern life while preserving its architectural character. Recent major improvements include a brand-new premium POLYFRESKO® G cool roof, brand-new electrical panel, brand-new premium pool heater and filtration system, a recording studio / creative workspace converted from a formerly unfinished garage, and additional garden enhancements following the home’s full 2022 renovation. The studio / creative workspace, with beautiful wood beams and skylight, creates a quiet and inspiring environment that few residences can offer — ideal for musicians, filmmakers, podcasters, writers, editors, content creators, or anyone seeking a private space for focused creative work. The property also includes approved plans and permit for an approximately 800 sq. ft. ADU, creating a valuable path for future expansion, guest quarters, creative production space, rental income potential, or living. For buyers expanding from Studio City, Universal City, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, Burbank, Beverly Hills, or other design-conscious Los Angeles neighborhoods, this home offers a rare combination of authentic Mid-Century pedigree, upgraded comfort, creative functionality, and generous space — all within a quiet and convenient Porter Ranch community. This is a home for buyers who understand that great architecture is not just seen. It is lived.
