A. Quincy Jones, F.A.I.A
The Gelb Residence
12450 Rochedale Ln, Los Angeles, CA
$1,995,000

A. Quincy Jones & Whitney R. Smith, Architects | The Morris & Lydia Gelb House, 1950 | Rehabilitation by Bruce Norelius, AIA, Architect, 2014 | City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 1332. Set within the utopian experiment of Crestwood Hills, the Gelb House is a rare, highly intact example of A. Quincy Jones Mutual Housing Association vision - where architecture was not a luxury, but a disciplined framework for living. Completed in 1950, the house embodies a rigor that feels increasingly scarce. The post-and-beam structure is expressed with clarity - Douglas fir framing, concrete block, and redwood working together without ornament or redundancy. Every decision is economical, never compromised. Sited into the hillside, the plan unfolds with quiet logic: private rooms at one end, living spaces opening outward, and structure doing the work of both enclosure and expression. A concrete block fireplace anchors the interior, while skylights along the ridge beam draw light deep into the plan. Owned by the original family for decades, the house remained largely untouched - preserving the intent of the MHA experiment, a community that reimagined postwar housing as cooperative, modern, and connected to landscape. The restoration by Bruce Norelius Studio approaches the house with restraint. Systems have been updated and key spaces - kitchen and baths - reworked with a sympathetic material palette, while the original structure remains intact. Interventions are legible and deliberately quiet - a careful continuation. On a large corner lot surrounded by mature trees, the flat pad offers potential for expansion, with room for a pool or additional living space. In a market where "mid-century" is often diluted, the Gelb House stands apart as the real thing. Photography: Tim Street-Porter.

Christopher Payne, A.I.A.
House of the Moon
61919 Mountain View Dr, Joshua Tree, CA
$1,725,000

Almost a stones throw from Joshua Tree National Park, the Desert Moon Retreat by Christopher Payne/FIN Architecture is a boldly geometric demonstration of innovative Modernism. Clad in Cor-Ten steel panels & stucco, the house rises from the cacti, wildflowers, Mojave yuccas and Joshua Trees like a sacred site anchored in nature. Equipped with solar electric power and multiple Tesla Power Walls, the property is designed to be "islanded" aka fully off-grid. Its windows, materials, systems and orientation are carefully calculated for maximum thermal efficiency both winter and summer--and day and night. On a 2+ acre lot in Joshua Tree Highlands, bare miles from the National Parks entrance, yet a short drive to restaurants and services, a more inspiring place to commune with the natural world is hard to imagine. 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2-car carport, electric car charger.

R. M. Schindler
The Druckman House
2764 Outpost Dr, Los Angeles, CA
$2,475,000

Designed in 1941 by modernist master R.M. Schindler, the Druckman Residence is a rare example of his late-period work in the Hollywood Hills. Conceived for Dr. Jacob S. Druckman and his wife, artist Margaret Druckman, the home features Schindlers distinctly asymmetrical gabled roof--concealing the house from the street while maximizing canyon views and light through dramatic clerestory windows. The residence balances openness with intimacy through Schindlers clever, split-level floor plan that separates the expansive public rooms from the private bedroom wing, creating both intimacy and privacy. The main living room is anchored by a dual indoor-outdoor fireplace, extending the interior seamlessly onto the front patio and reinforcing the homes early commitment to indoor-outdoor living. The adjacent kitchen preserves Schindlers original built-in breakfast nook, paired with updated appliances and surfaces in the spirit of the original design. A den beside the living area offers a quieter retreat with treetop views and sculptural ceiling lines. Down the split-level corridor, four bedrooms maintain a more intimate scale, adding to the homes overall efficiency. The value focus of the mid century movement is more relevant and important today with increased cost of living and ever increasing utility costs. Each is positioned to maximize natural light and connection to the outdoors. The primary suite includes canyon views, generous closet, and a recently updated en-suite bath, while the additional guest rooms also feature original built-ins and backyard access. Outside, newly terraced landscaping leads to a private oval pool--attributed to Richard Neutra. 2764 Outpost Drive is a rare architectural offering, combining architectural significance with everyday livability, one with a deep connection to light and landscape.

James Dolena
Casa Encantada
10644 Bellagio Rd, Los Angeles, CA
$170,000,000

There are great houses, and then there are defining ones. Casa Encantada belongs to the latter a residence so rare it transcends comparison. Set atop a fully usable 8.4-acre promontory overlooking the Bel-Air Country Club, this legendary estate stands as the apex of American residential architecture, where history, artistry, and power quietly converge. Originally conceived in 1937 and later reimagined in the grand Deco-Hollywood tradition, Casa Encantada is not bound to a single era. Its most recent restoration is neither cosmetic nor nostalgic it is a resurrection. Every detail was revived with reverence, reclaiming the spirit of a time when craftsmanship was the ultimate luxury and permanence was the point. From the oval foyer, a sweeping staircase rises to a grand hall crowned by soaring fourteen-foot ceilings, establishing a sense of scale without excess. Formal and junior dining rooms, a walnut-paneled library, and dual living salons one stately, one intimate unfold in perfect symmetry. Vast steel-framed windows bathe the interiors in natural light, while a gleaming Lucite bar recalls the effortless glamour of Hollywoods golden age. The primary suite presides in quiet authority, offering two private sitting rooms, dual marble baths, refined dressing salons, and views stretching endlessly across green fairways and the distant horizon. Three additional bedroom suites complete the main residence, each executed with the same disciplined elegance and restraint. Beyond the house, the estate reveals itself as a private kingdom. Terraced rose gardens, botanical sanctuaries, orchard and herb gardens, and sweeping lawns are encircled by a private road, creating a world entirely its own. A sixty-foot tiled pool, tennis pavilion, and sports court are placed with intention and balance never competing with the land, only honoring it. Built to be the greatest residence in America and maintained as such for nearly a century, Casa Encantada remains unmatched in legacy
