Unique California Property

Just Listed: The Crowder House, Crowder & Associates (1964).

Developed originally as a vacation home for the architect's own family, its design fully embraced the tenets of the mid-century modern era from which it came. It reveals itself to be as forward looking and timeless as the day it was built. The current owners undertook a multi-year renovation of the home's systems and finishes to bring it into the future. A refined palette of natural materials were carefully chosen and carried throughout: brick flooring, custom-built walnut cabinetry and paneling, and a gridwork of ceramic tile and concrete block walls. The home's clear expression of structure, sophisticated use of volume and space, and expansive walls of glass connecting it to the outdoors and distant views all provide for daily inspiration. The house turns it back to the street and towards these views, utilizing clerestory windows and a well organized plan to provide natural light and open space without sacrificing privacy. The open plan of interior spaces are allowed to seamlessly intertwine with vast outdoor areas for entertaining and play. System updates included central HVAC, upgraded plumbing & electrical, lighting design, dual pane glazing, Gaggenau appliances, built-in Bowers Wilkins home audio system, and an extensive renovation of exterior spaces including the pool, spa, built-in bbq area, landscape, and hardscape. Located in a private and stunning hilltop setting- with panoramic views of Dana Point Harbor, city lights, and the surrounding coastal landscape. A rare opportunity to live within architectural history, well situated in one of Southern California's most idyllic locations.

Just Listed: Topanga Canyon Modern (1973)

A house built for its site- positioned atop the crest of a hill to offer unobstructed views of the Santa Monica Mountains to the north, scenic canyon views to the south, and maximum privacy for its gardens, patios, and decks. It was originally built in 1973, with a modernist design vocabulary that references The Sea Ranch in Northern California. The post-and-beam structure, with its steep shed roofs and vaulted ceilings reaching up to 14 feet in height, enhances the impression of openness and space. Clerestory windows follow the roofline, delivering natural light in unexpected ways. Redwood decks found at both sides of the home are accessed via glass sliding doors, creating a continuity between indoors and out. To the south, a trellis shelters the interior and exterior dining areas from the afternoon sun. A barrel sauna, outdoor shower area, and storage room are nearby. From the southeast edge of the property, an extraordinary view of Downtown Los Angeles. The surrounding gardens are a combination of drought tolerant, native, and mediterranean plants including several citrus trees. The rare Topanga Canyon home with professional updating, newer systems, top of line kitchen equipment, double pane wood windows + doors, concrete paved drive, and an advertised square footage matching with the assessor's record. With its combination of thoughtful design and modern system updates, ocean breezes and nearby hiking trails- this home and location embody all of the most desirable attributes of Topanga living.
