Agent Remarks: Nestled in the highly sought-after Santa Monica Canyon, this iconic midcentury modern architectural gem boasts an unbeatable location between Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades. Designed by Architect David Hyun 1960, the home's angular lines and asymmetry of wood panels, glass windows, and beams create an unparalleled living experience. With nearly 4,000 SF of living space, 4 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms, this residence is ideal for those seeking to preserve the architectural integrity of this stunning home. Upon entering, a glass-enclosed entry hallway guides you to the main open living space. A cement, and steel floating elliptical staircase is the focal point upon entering, followed by expansive walls of glass windows that frame the outdoors, transforming the interior into a unique haven. The main formal living area, centered around a 100+ year old oak tree, connects seamlessly to the formal dining area and a separate sitting room adorned with oak wood paneling. The updated, open-style kitchen maintains architectural integrity while incorporating modern high-end appliances. Downstairs, three spacious bedrooms share a full bathroom, while the upstairs becomes an entertainer's dream with a family room/lounge area featuring windows bordering the ceiling and an outdoor balcony surrounded by mature trees, an office, and special Zen inspired yoga room/optional 5th bedroom. The primary suite offers a unique treehouse-like retreat with a walk-in closet leading to a spa-like bathroom boasting his and hers sinks, an in-ground sunken tub, skylights, and two showers. Outside, a generous-sized pool is surrounded by mature trees for privacy, and the backyard provides direct access to Rustic Canyon Park with basketball, baseball, and tennis courts. Homes with mid-century style and thoughtful details like this are rare, especially in such a coveted location. Don't miss the chance to live in and own an irreplaceable designed masterpiece on the Westside.

    Rustic Canyon is a beautiful "country lane" enclave of homes - many architecturally significant located between Pacific palisades and Santa Monica. This area can be accessed from either side and in the center is Rustic Cyn Park. The park has all outdoor activities such as a baseball field, basketball tennis. It's a haven for families and children. This breathtaking architectural home is just over 4000 sf and has had a loving family raise their children there. It is one of 8-10 homes that has its own private gate access directly on to the baseball field. This is a very special home with amazing scale huge windows, which bring the outdoor landscaping and 100-year-old trees into the living space. UNIQUE and exciting is how to describe it. There is a full-floor primary suite with game-sitting room, office, bedroom, bath and a large deck with sofa seating looking over the pool. In addition, there are 3 smaller bedrooms downstairs share a bath. The modern kitchen is open to the family room windows galore and unbelievable natural light flows all day long. Kids can come home run out to the park and play safely until dark - unlike most homes can offer. Truly a treasure to be treasured.

    As of 12/26 WITHDRAWN FROM THE MLS FOR THE HOLIDAYS; CAN STILL BE SHOWN; CALL LA1 FOR SHOWINGS; DO NOT CONTACT OWNER. The Modern Tree House - Architect David Hyun 1960. The original owners of this enviable, light-bathed lot tasked Hyun (who, in his early years, worked in the offices of mid-century modernist masters Richard Neutra and A. Quincy Jones) with designing a post-and-beam structure that integrated the magnificent native Oaks and the giant Sycamore which graced the site in a way that would allow the owners to view the trees. Hyun realized the owners' vision by creating rectilinear "voids" which incorporated the Century-old living elements into the "structure" and assembling broad expanses of glass which insulated the occupants from the elements while still affording views from every area of the home. Natural light enters the dramatic two-story high living and dining areas from four directions providing a constantly changing play of light throughout the day and a variety of subtle moods in the room as the light gradually lessens or weather changes. Additionally downstairs is a newer, eat-in Eggersman kitchen, a full-service bar, formal powder room, and three bedrooms (all sharing one full bath). Upstairs holds the primary suite with uncharacteristically (for the era) expansive closets, two separate offices and a very large den/media room. Sited on perhaps the best block of Rustic Canyon, the nearly one-quarter acre lot features a spacious rear yard with a large swimming pool, an area for dining amongst the trees, and, perhaps most importantly, a gate directly into Rustic Canyon Park (one of the County's most beloved), which extends the yard spectacularly.
