William Pereira Architectural Home is a headline we rarely see. The last single family residence I can remember designed by the luminary was the Chatsworth residence of Dora Hutchinson built in 1951 (later owned by Frank Sinatra). Pereira was a pillar in the commercial world of mid century architecture. So, to see the home he designed for himself at 135 N Rossmore in Hancock Park to hit the market, we were thrilled. We understand this house is going to need lots of love to either bring it back or move it forward to a restoration it deserves. But it sure has some lines doesn’t it? 135 N Rossmore Ave, Hancock Park | William Pereira | William Pereira Residence | c. 1951 | Offered at $5,495,000 For more information or to schedule a private showing, please DM or call us: 310.622.0312 . . .

Known as Country Club Park, a nod to the golf course previously sited there around the turn of the 20th century, this area was one of the first neighborhoods to feature prominent homes for the wealthy. After the golf course moved to Holmby Hills, those with means were building some of L.A.s most distinguished architectural homes in this neighborhood. The Baker House by Elmer Grey proudly exemplifies this as St Andrews Place is an exceptionally wide street and the home is sited on a 16,000 square foot corner lot. Grey would be known for building in various styles and for residential and commercial alike with The Beverly Hills Hotel being one of his most famous structures. The Baker House is a fine example of English Tudor Revival. The foyer contains beamed ceiling and a gorgeous winding staircase. One of our favorite rooms has to be the dining area with its well cared for paneled wood walls, ornate ceiling and clerestory windows. The current owner has a clear eye for design. They have installed a modern Naomi Paul pendant lamp over the dining room table which nicely accentuates the classic design of the patterned ceiling. The home is awash in modern colors that compliment and bring fresh insight into this hundred-year-old design. Lighting fixtures by Greta Grossman and Serge Mouille are sophisticated touches to this exceptional piece of architecture. The backyard is not to be missed. There is ample space for relaxation and play between a sizable deck, a sprawling lawn and the perfectly Hockney blue pool. There’s almost no reason to leave the premises. This is truly an exceptional property for someone who wants in all.

Ok cinephiles, who’s seen Los Angeles Plays Itself? If you haven’t, do yourself a favor and give it a look. Director Thom Anderson put together and intriguing documentary of how Los Angeles is depicted in film. And, as a treat for architecture lovers, there’s a whole section on modernist houses. Homes by John Lautner, Richard Neutra, Pierre Koenig and Frank Lloyd Wright are prominently featured in the film. Anderson humorously points out that these homes are often the residences of the movie’s villain. According to Hollywood filmmakers, I guess we are to believe that gangsters, pimps, pornographers and drug dealers all love masterful architecture. It used to be only available to watch at film festivals or private screenings. But, thankfully with a click of a button, you can rent or buy it. . . . #modernlivingla #thingswelike #losangelesplaysitself #thomandersen #losangelesfilm #architecturbuffs #franksinatra #stewartwilliams #franklloydwright #ennishouse #johnlautner #chemisphere #garciahouse #richardneutra #lovellhouse #lovellhealthhouse #pierrekoenig #stahlhouse #casestudy #casestudy22 #laconfidential #movievillians
