Craig Ellwood  
The B. Lamar & Agnes M. Johnson Res.  
1515 N Tigertail Rd, Los Angeles, CA
$5,995,000
The Byron Lamar & Agnes M. Johnson House - Craig Ellwood, 1953 | Few homes carry a story this rare. The Byron Lamar Johnson House is the third in Craig Ellwoods celebrated series of steel hillside residences a canon of mid-century architecture so significant it earned its own headline: "Beauty of the House of Steel," Los Angeles Examiner. This is not a home that merely references the era. It is the era, meticulously restored and ready to be lived in today. Perched at the crown of Crestwood Hills on one of Brentwoods most prestigious addresses, Ellwoods signature steel columns and wooden beams lift the structure off the hillside in a seamless floating composition. By day, the Pacific stretches to Catalina Island. By night, the lights of Los Angeles shimmer below the living room like a private panorama that never gets old.The restoration is as serious as the pedigree. Seismically upgraded, structurally pristine, and finished with the kind of intention that honors Ellwoods design ethos without compromising modern comfort. Terrazzo floors, Lutron lighting, Fleetwood and Baldwin doors and windows, Waterworks fixtures, motorized shades, and a restored gas and wood-burning fireplace every material decision was made with care. The kitchen carries the same conviction: Gaggenau, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances, complemented by a full outdoor kitchen with Lynx barbecue and pizza oven. The property comes fully automated with solar panels, Tesla Powerwalls, EV charging, whole-house water filtration, and a brand new roof with rooftop sprinkler system. Two addresses comprise the full offering. The main residence delivers 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. A new ADU adds a private one-bedroom suite with full steam shower and kitchen, opening directly to the pool ideal for guests, staff, or income. This is also a remarkable financial opportunity.

Harry Gesner  
The Condor Crag Residence  
965 Stunt Rd, Calabasas, CA
$3,000,000
Condor Crag, Harry Gesner, 1958. Set high on a private drive among granite boulders, mature succulents, native trees, and Matilija poppies, Condor Crag feels connected to the land before the house even comes fully into view. The approach is quiet and dramatic in the best way, with the landscape slowly revealing one of Harry Gesners most memorable canyon homes.Designed in 1958 for Gunsmoke cinematographer Fleet Southcott, the residence is anchored directly into the granite cliff with steel beams that make the house feel like it grew out of the rock rather than being placed on top of it. An entry pond sits near the front approach, reflecting the sky and stone and setting a calm tone before you step inside. The main residence is approximately 2,500 square feet and carries the feeling of the site throughout the interiors. Flagstone floors bring the geology indoors, while clerestory windows draw soft northern light into the living spaces. A soaring Windy Hill Rock fireplace, quarried from the same outcropping beneath the house, anchors the main room with a sense of permanence and place. A sunken bar is tucked naturally into the architecture, adding to the easy, lived-in character of the home.Nearly every room is oriented toward the view, with seven peaks of the Santa Monica Mountains framed through glass as you move through the house. The primary suite feels especially private, with two full walls of glass opening to the mountain panorama and sliding doors that lead to an expansive aluminum deck cantilevered over the cliff. The primary bath includes a sunken stone shower that feels deeply connected to the surrounding rock and setting.Just outside the suite, a hot tub and outdoor bathtub sit beneath the canopy of a mature Deodar Cedar, with a quiet sitting area tucked into one of the most private corners of the property. Owls nest in the branches above, hawks ride the air off the cliff face, and the wildlife here feels like part of daily life rather than something se
