1966 Lucile Ave, Los Angeles, CA

Designed in 1959 by noted Los Angeles midcentury architect Eugene Weston III, The Fischer Residence is a beautifully preserved post-and-beam home that remains remarkably true to its original architectural vision. Offered by only its fourth owners, the house retains its authentic material palette of wood, glass, terrazzo and cork, along with the clean proportions and indooroutdoor sensibility that define classic California modernism.Set on nearly half an acre, hillside lot, the home sits on level ground elevated above the street, creating exceptional privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Mature plantings and natural foliage frame the property, giving the home the feeling of being immersed in a private park.Large expanses of glazing in the living room, dining area, and primary bedroom frame city and garden views while bringing in shifting natural light throughout the day. Garden-facing windows offer calm, park-like outlooks that enhance the homes quiet atmosphere.The dramatic double-height living room opens directly to an expansive deck and is anchored by a two-sided wood-burning and gas fireplace, balancing openness with warmth and intimacy.A terraced garden culminates in an upper outdoor sitting area with sweeping views and a distinctly Mediterranean character.Surrounded by two other well-maintained mid century residences, the property sits within a cohesive architectural setting just moments from the restaurants, shops, and neighborhood life of Silver Lake.A rare opportunity to own a highly intact example of Los Angeles post-and-beam architecture.
