First celebrated in the pages of Architectural Digest in 1965, this midcentury A-frame masterpiece is now on the market and poised for its next chapter. This architectural refuge, in harmony with nature, was built in 1958 by the current owner and has been enjoyed by them since. Restore the residence to its former glory or reimagine and refurbish to create a modern paradise optimized for today's contemporary lifestyle. This very large flat pad is located on a cul-de-sac just outside of Beverly Hills city proper. Having traveled often to Hawaii, the owners "endeavored to recreate an atmosphere of island living, " wrote the AD staff writer. "Landscaping with volcanic rock and trickling waterfalls among lush foliage lends a tropical aura that continues inside the house as well. Natural materials of wood and stone are used as structural forms. The exposed forms become, at the same time, both the architecture and the decoration. " This is a rare opportunity to redevelop a unique and special property rich in provenance, sited on a desirable street and just moments to the iconic flats of Beverly Hills, famed Rodeo Drive, and the Westside.

What's hilarious is that typical of LA, there are very conservative homes from that era right down the street. This one even has a lawn jockey:

I can't help but have the site of a vintage lawn jockey trigger Frank Zappa's
Uncle Remus:
Woo, are we movin' too slow?
Have you seen us
Uncle Remus
We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do)
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
It ain't bad in the day
If they squirt it your way
'Cept in the winter, when it's froze
An' it's hard if it hits
On yer nose
(On yer nose)
Just keep yer nose
(Keep yer nose)
To the grindstone, they say
Will that redeem us
(Will redeem us)

(Uncle Remus)
I can't wait till my Fro is full-grown
I'll just throw 'way my Doo-Rag at home
(What was that?)
I'll go to Beverly Hills
Just before dawn
An' knock those little jockeys
Off the rich people's lawn
An' before they get up
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Just keep yer nose
To the grindstone, they say
Will that redeem us
Uncle Remus
I can't wait till my Fro is full-grown
I'll just throw 'way my Doo Rag at home
I'll take a drive to Beverly Hills
Just before dawn
An' knock the little jockeys
Off the rich people's lawn
An' before they get up
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Before they get up
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Before they get up
I'll be knocking the jockeys off the lawn
Down in the dew
