of John Lautner’s iconic “Silvertop” mansion — the low-slung house structure offers about 3,300 square feet of living space, and last sold in 2016 for about $2.7 million.
The home’s exterior is spiced up with a cobalt front door; inside, there’s a modernized kitchen that retains its midcentury hallmarks, complete with banquette seating and exotic-looking cabinetry. Natural light filters into the kitchen’s via a floor-to-ceiling glass slider opens to the blacktopped driveway, which is shaded by a mature oak grove.
Beyond the kitchen, a white brick fireplace effectively bisects the dining and family rooms, both of which offer two sets glass sliders opening on one side of the room to a grassy knoll with panoramic Angeles National Forest views, on the other to a firepit-equipped stone terrace for romantic al fresco dining. Other entryway-adjacent spaces include a forest green powder room and a spare bedroom that currently functions as a cozy living room.
At the far rear of the single-story house is a family wing that’s well removed from the public rooms. Behind closed doors are a tiny laundry room, plus a bedroom and office that share a full bathroom. But the master retreat is indisputably the show’s star, with a bedroom opening to a private wooden deck and a redwood bathroom with dual vanities and a skylit glass shower that’s completely open to the back patio, potentially creating vivid memories for an unsuspecting gardener.
The acre property also offers a private pool area that’s set well away from the house, just off the driveway. The oversized swimmer’s pool boasts beautiful views, plus leafy surrounding gardens a poolside cabana with a full bathroom.
Why do these sales get reported? I assume the publicists push them, but why?
