You may recognize this home, located in a wooded valley at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains, and only 15 minutes from downtown Los Angeles.
It's the home that Tom Ford chose for a non-speaking role in last years Oscar nominated "A Single Man".
This stunner in concrete, glass, and native redwood, has been meticulously restored.
The open plan design takes advantage of the beautiful views encompassing a large stand of oak.
Colin Firth, regrettably, does not come with the property.

Love the outdoor/indoor vibe! Stunning property!
ReplyDeleteit's a single man's world, baby! great post, K.
ReplyDeleteLove that invisible line between indoors and out in that bedroom. Very cool place.
ReplyDeleteK -- Re: The Chrysler, that place gave me sustenance and succor many times whilst we were in the climes and environs of Chesapeake/Hampton Roads during law school. Sun eve recommendation? easy ... put the DVR to work on the Oscars, and watch Any Human Heart with a nice shiraz. not a bad way to tend the weekend (don't forget to say weekend like the Brits do!)
ReplyDeleteColin Firth was the deal breaker for me. Some other lucky buyer will be the proud owner of this beauty.
ReplyDeleteloved the movie and i loved the house.
ReplyDeletethe rotating doors are the best!!

ReplyDeleteI have always love Lautner's work! Ok, I am just about to whip out my chequebook!
ReplyDeletebeautiful house! I have always love Lautner's work too...
ReplyDeleteI love that house and I love Colin Firth!!!!
ReplyDeletelove that house! fun to see it in the movie and again now! thanks! i wouldn't mind being a single man if i got to live there!
ReplyDeleteIt's very fine, a million miles from my life and world. I once built and livid in a house in the middle of a redwood forest in Marin county many years ago and this brings back memories, if my house was more "high tech in style. Price is not bad I'd say—too few bathrooms I suppose. Nice post. Transporting.
ReplyDeleteWhile I thoroughly appreciate the design- I could not live the way I like in that structure, and it is far removed from where I should be right now-so no sale. possibly would reconsider if Firth would sweeten the deal. pgt
