1955: the Year of the Maverick. James Dean rebelled without cause; a tired seamstress refused to move to the back of the bus; two of the babies born were a William Gates and Stephen Jobs. And Ben Neuman and Assoc. drafted plans pushing all limits of the conventional house. The resulting post-and-beam, a tour de force of nonconforming spaces, irregular angles, and striking chromium-lined bespoke white birch carpentry is now pristinely restored in keeping with its timeless character. Nestled atop artistic Adams Hill--2016 LA hottest neighborhood-Marion boasts show-stopping views spanning the Santa Monicas to San Gabriels. New systems; permitted bedroom w private balcony; red oak hardwood and onyx marble mosaic floors; custom quartz, glass doors, and hand-stained wood; energy-efficient roof; recessed LED lights; dual pane Milgard windows; nest; landscaping and irrigation. Pomegranate, cumquat, Asian pear trees and terraced vineyard. LA real estate at its true best. A Marc Sid restoration.
