The Wishnow Residence - Benton and Park, AIA circa 1961. Wallace Benton and Donald Park were part of a second wave of influential modern architects to build in Southern California. Donald Park was a student of A Quincy Jones at the prestigious U.S.C. school of architecture. He later worked for Jones before forming the firm of Benton and Park along with Wallace. They would go on to design homes in the greater Los Angeles area, including several in what would come to be known as Crestwood Hills, a haven for modern architecture. The Wishnow Residence is a fine example of the firm's take on California modernism. It is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac moments from a beautiful well landscaped park full of trees. Upon approach, a gated atrium sets the tone. A double door entry with a lions head knocker greets your guests. From the moment of entry, it's clear you're in store for something special. Boasting over 3,000 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, each room is generously proportioned and creates a beautiful flow for the entire home. The ceiling height is approaching 10' tall. Original Terrazzo flooring with brass inlays is present both inside and out. The oversized living room with its floor to ceiling walls of glass wonderfully connects the indoors with the backyard. One of the dueling interior fireplaces is clad in marble and is juxtaposed with a quartz rock wall and a floor to ceiling built in bookshelf. A pocket door gives way to the generous sized family room with the second fireplace clad in original travertine. This opens directly back thru the kitchen and breakfast area. A dedicated formal dining room is positioned nicely opposite the breakfast area. A line of clerestory windows along family room, living room and primary bedroom complete the floor to ceiling walls of glass, allows for soft light to flood through the home and reminds us why we love a good mid century modern home. Each of these rooms looks out to the kidney shaped pool to completed the modern vibe. The large primary bedroom has a slider leading out to the patio and pool. The ensuite bathroom contains a dual sinks and a separate shower and tub. The perfect home for a cocktail party, yet, also peaceful and tranquil. This architectural house has been loved by its current owners and is ready to make its next owner proud to call it home.

PRIVACY IS THE NEW LUXURY. Tired of touring homes where an apartment building looms over the backyard and the neighbors' windows look straight down into the pool? Not here. Behind the gate sits over 12,000 square feet of flat, usable land, nearly double the typical Valley Glen lot (and one of the largest currently for sale), wrapped in 8 foot Palm Springs inspired fencing and lush, layered landscaping. No one looking in, just your own private resort: a 20x30 saltwater pool and spa, 1,100+ square feet of decking. Whether you need massive space for outdoor entertaining or just relaxing in solitude, this backyard is it. The 1,915 sq ft home was taken down to the studs in 2014 (all new plumbing, electrical, roof, HVAC, windows, foundation earthquake strapping, tankless water heater, with many upgrades since) and gained a large primary suite addition, for four bedrooms and three baths. Three quarter inch hardwood runs throughout, and the kitchen centers on a quartz waterfall island with a 36 inch professional range. Parking for 6+ cars behind the gate and a 400+ square foot flex garage with epoxy floors and vaulted beams, ready as a studio, gym, or showroom. In LA, anyone can renovate, but no one can build a bigger lot. Come feel the privacy in person! If more interior space is needed, this R1 lot being 83 x 150, there is potential room for a detached ADU plus JADU; potential SB 9 lot split. Buyer to verify. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed; buyer to independently verify square footage, lot size, boundaries, schools.
