A rare architectural offering in Upper Ladera Heights, this striking mid-century modern home was designed by architect N.D. Ferzacca in partnership with Robert L. Earl. Thoughtfully reimagined with style and taste, the residence blends iconic mid-century elements with refined contemporary finishes offering a sophisticated setting for modern California living. Upper Ladera Heights, rich in architectural history, emerged in the postwar era as a hub for modernist design. Noted architects such as Gregory Ain, Robert L. Earl, N.D. Ferzacca and Charles W. Wong envisioned homes that embraced the optimism and indoor-outdoor lifestyle of Southern California. Inside, the original terrazzo entryway opens to soaring ceilings and a spacious open floor plan. A striking double-sided floor-to-ceiling fireplace connects the formal living, dining, and den areas, creating a warm and flowing interior. Breeze block details highlight a raised planter and terrazzo hearth, while new skylights and expansive glazing fill the home with natural light. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, wine cooler, custom oak cabinetry and high-end finishes. An island with dramatic custom alabaster light fixtures offers seating for six. A walk-in pantry and laundry area provide added convenience. Only the second time on the market, the home offers four bedrooms and three stylishly remodeled bathrooms. Upgrades include a newer roof, gutters, HVAC system and ducting, two tankless water heaters, 31 solar panels, an EV charger and drought-tolerant landscaping a true turnkey residence. The backyard has been completely transformed into a private resort-style retreat. The grounds feature a refinished freeform pool, an outdoor shower framed by breeze blocks, mid-century-inspired pavers and low-maintenance turf - designed for relaxation and entertaining. This timeless home blends architectural heritage with modern comfort. Perfect for mid-century enthusiasts and those seeking an elevated design-forward lifestyle, this property invites you to live boldly and beautifully. Just three miles from Silicon Beach and close to SoFi Stadium, beaches, Playa del Rey, Culver City, LAX and the 405. The home sits in a peaceful enclave - California living at its best.
