Description

The Sure Residence by Samuel Reisbord Architect AIA circa 1950. Set on a promontory at the end of the cul-de-sac, the home overlooks the Hollywood Hills with the Wisdom Tree and Hollywood Sign in view. The entrance to this magical estate is on Caverna Drive (vs Pacific View). Once you reach Caverna travel to the end of the street and pull into the 1950's iconic carport. You have arrived at your own modernist paradise in the middle of the city. The remarkable vista looks more like a postcard of nearby Ojai or Topanga Canyon than a centrally located neighborhood in L.A. The property is a short step away from the famed Mulholland Hwy and the upper access to both Runyon Canyon Park and Outpost canyon. The interiors match up with the top-notch siting of this home; a masterfully laid out placement featuring beamed ceilings, wood floors and glazed openings to house allowing a view from every room. This is a 4 bedroom residence featuring a boutique hotel atmosphere with 3 sleeping rooms down and a primary suite upstairs. There is a wonderful living room with a fire place that adjoins the dining room and smartly accesses the kitchen. If you live here though, you will likely spend most of your days outside entertaining, gardening, relaxing and enjoying what it means to live in California. Architect Sam Reisbord was well known for the Beverly Carlton building on Olympic in Beverly Hills. It was made famous by Marilyn Monroe, Mae West and Lucille Ball, who were each once residents in the early 1950s and loved its glamorous design and furnishings. It's no longer called the Beverly Carlton, you would know it now as the Avalon hotel, refreshed by designer Kelly Wearstler. Kelly has smartly kept things mostly original. At the Sure Residence you can see some of Reisbord signature mid-century building design elements in the light opening patterns in the corners of the brick facades, creative steel & glass use, and California outdoor room creations for living under the sun.
