Incredibly rare opportunity to live in a fully remodeled custom single-story modern home with spectacular views. Originally designed by architect Mims Jackson, Jr. as his personal residence, with its elevated site carefully selected by the architect for privacy and captivating vistas both to the north and south. This is the most recent project by Andreas Larsson of HabHouse, who has established a reputation for sensitive rehabilitations of architectural property throughout Los Angeles. Modern updates are incorporated around original architectural detailing, preserving the integrity of the home while giving it new life. A post and beam trellis creates a distinctive front facade and provides shade for the entry terrace, its Japanese maple tree and water fountain sculpture. This is just the first of several patios, gardens, and decks that surround the house; all with views and direct access into the home through its many sliding glass doors. The structure itself seems to reach outward towards the views of the city below and across the San Fernando Valley. This interplay between the house and its surroundings is dramatically displayed in the living area: an imposing brick fireplace and its long hearth anchors the room, with adjacent mitered glass corner window and spider leg beam ser
