Frederick Fisher
The Caplin House
229 San Juan Ave, Los Angeles, CA
$3,450,000
The Caplin House | Frederick Fisher, 1979 Few homes in Venice have a story this specific. Designed in 1979 as Frederick Fishers first independent residential project, the Caplin House captures an important moment in the evolution of Southern California architecture and the experimental spirit that came to define Venice. The residence is organized around a soaring central volume that brings light deep into the home and establishes the rhythm of the interior. Skylights, exposed structure, bridges, balconies and shifting ceiling heights create a sequence of spaces that feels open without being predictable. Rather than a conventional layout, the architecture reveals itself gradually, with each level offering a different perspective through the house. Fishers interest in maritime forms is expressed in the curved roofline and sculptural geometry, but the home is more than an architectural statement. Its proportions remain intimate and livable, with connected gathering spaces, private bedroom areas and multiple places to work, read or retreat. The kitchen sits naturally within the main living environment, while the upper level connects the bedrooms through a bridge-like passage overlooking the central volume. Throughout the house, built-in elements, carefully framed views and unexpected transitions reinforce the sense that every space was considered as part of a larger composition. Outdoor areas are equally integral to the experience, including private patios, garden spaces and a rooftop deck with broad views across Venice. The combination of light, ocean air and changing vantage points gives the house a character that shifts throughout the day.Located just west of Abbot Kinney and north of Venice Boulevard, the property is close to the beach, Main Street, Rose Avenue and the neighborhoods restaurants, shops and galleries while remaining tucked into a resident

Fairhaven Eichler Bring the Vision You already know what youd do to this house. You knew by the second photo. Youve been mentally moving a wall and you havent even walked in yet. Good. That instinct is the entire reason this Eichler is on the market. Four bedrooms, two baths, sitting right in the heart of Fairhaven the first Eichler neighborhood in the City of Orange and still the one every other midcentury modern pocket in Orange County gets measured against. Classic Eichler post-and-beam bones, glass where glass belongs, and an open midcentury modern floor plan that has been patiently waiting for someone with opinions. What should you keep? Nothing. Truly, nothing and thats not a warning, its a permission slip. The original mid-century modern lines stay; everything else is yours to overrule. Every finish, every fixture, every choice made by a previous decade. Theres no air conditioning either, so add that to the list. The list is long. Were not going to pretend otherwise. What you are getting: a big yard, a pool, and the indoor-outdoor flow Eichler built his name on enough space to host the kind of evening nobody leaves before eleven. A central spot in a neighborhood where the dinner parties are progressive appetizers at one house, entre at the next, dessert three doors down and where everyone actually knows everyone. Step out to the Esplanade Trail for a walk that conveniently ends at a brewery, a coffee shop, lunch, or Christakis, which Tustin will fight you over. Old Towne Orange, Old Town Tustin, The District, Tustin Marketplace, Sprouts, Trader Joes all close. The 5, 22, 55, 91, and 405 closer than youd think. The last remodeled Eichler here sold for $2.3M. The one before it, just under $2M and the new roof went on right after. Beautiful homes. Expensive way to buy someone elses opinions. Youre not doing that. Youre picking the tile, the counters, the fixtures, the floors, the whole thing and paying for the Eichler, not for the upgrad

Frank O. Gehry
The Robert & Lesley Benson Residence
23685 Clover Trl, Calabasas, CA
$1,599,000
Frank Gehry :: The Benson House. Before Bilbao, Walt Disney Concert Hall and the landmark works that would define his global career, Frank Gehry was already challenging the conventions of domestic architecture on a hillside in the Calabasas Highlands. Completed in 1981, The Benson House belongs to a pivotal chapter in Gehrys early Los Angeles period, when his residential work became a laboratory for the ideas, materials and spatial experiments that would later transform contemporary architecture. Designed for law professor Robert "Bob" Benson, who famously told Gehry, "Whatever you want to do, we will go for," the house emerged from an extraordinary level of creative trust and became one of Gehrys favorite projects and most personal residential works. Set into a slope, the architecture separates from the hillside to create a moat-like negative space, allowing two distinct vertical volumes to emerge. A vertebrae-like wooden walkway connects the bedroom wing with the living and gathering spaces, creating a daily experience of movement, sequence and spatial discovery. Gehry described the composition as "almost touching," like two stones in a Japanese sculpture. Clad in humble asphalt shingles and grounded by concrete floors, exposed rafters and raw material contrasts, the home reflects Gehrys early language of recontextualized vernacular, California modernism and architecture as sculpture. The residence offers two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a loft workspace and panoramic San Fernando Valley views. Located within the Las Virgenes Unified School District (public school system). Sited on four contiguous lots, each with its own APN, The Benson House is Calabasas Historical Landmark No. 2 and an important early Gehry residence archived at the Getty Research Institute. Early Gehry homes rarely come to market, making this a singular opportunity to own a formative work by one of the most influential architects of our time.
