Distinctive architectural gem in the heart of the Hollywood Hills. Nestled on a tranquil street off Mulholland Drive, this mid-century modern 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home was designed and built by architect Val Powelson, AIA in 1954. Serenity abounds in this corner property, granting privacy and green views with glimpses into the canyons beyond. Surrounded by nature and filled with light, Powelson's post-and-beam design embodies an open floor plan and high ceilings - with full-expanse windows and clerestories. The generous open kitchen, dining and living areas, perfectly suited for entertaining, seamlessly extend outdoors to the wrap-around exterior living space and luscious gardens. The two bedroom wings on opposite sides, allow for natural separation - with master bath ensuite and full bath accessible to second bedroom and public spaces. Original features are felicitously blended with contemporary design touches, where all materials and details were carefully curated by its previous owner. Carport and off-street parking. As a contractor, designer, and later architect, Powelson's notable works include, among many others, the Maranz Residence in Rancho Mirage (1960) and the Indian Wells Country Club House (1959), which was photographed by Julius Shulman.
