Original Mid-Century Modern diamond in the rough in upper Nichols Canyon, expanded over the years, notably in 1957 by esteemed Architect John August Reed. Classically trained at USC's School of Architecture, John A. Reed's classmates were none other than Conrad Buff, Donald Hensman, Thornton Ladd, Henry Hester and Pierre Koenig. John A. Reed assisted Frank Lloyd Wright's son with drawings for the Wayfarer's Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, before working as an associate with Sim Bruce Richards, and during this time, he also completed RM Schindler's Schlessinger House. Mr. Reed grew a firm peaking at nearly two-dozen employees and worked on many distinctive projects. Surrounded by mature trees and featuring a unique rustic exterior, this spacious residence sits above the street on a serene and secluded lot of nearly a quarter of an acre. The dwelling displays spellbinding creative details showcasing the architect's uncompromising vision. At the heart of the home, the public space combines living and dining room, anchored by a striking brick fireplace and oversized picture windows. A set of sliding glass doors leads to a shaded patio perfect for alfresco dining. The adjacent kitchen is spacious and complemented by a large pantry. A versatile floor plan offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, an office space, and a bonus flex room above the garage. The primary suite, with its own full bath and walk-in closet, occupies the entire lower level with paradisiac views of the lush backyard. Outside is an entertainer's dream with a terraced landscaped backyard, meandering paths leading to a koi pond, a spa, several patios and an extra-large flat pad. There are a 2-car garage and 2 additional spots in the driveway at the front of the property. Abundant storage is present throughout the home. This gem lies within a prime location, a coveted neighborhood surrounded by multi-million-dollar properties in one of the most exclusive and star-studded neighborhoods in Los Angeles. A true retreat in the heart of the city, this rare find is waiting to be restored or redeveloped.
