Property Description
The Owl's Nest is finally available. Commanding some of the most stunning views ranging from Downtown Century City, Santa Monica Bay, and Catalina Islands, this W. Earl Wear architect-designed property was to originally be the architect's personal home. Influenced heavily by F.L. Wright, the home is a case study for Organic Architecture. The approximate 1-acre property features mature fruit trees, a mixture of pine, redwood, oak, olive, bay, and eucalyptus creating a hidden oasis even from Google maps. The flat, usable gardens and diverse landscaping evokes feelings of Big Sur, yet still only 30 minutes from Hollywood. The home's organic shape blends beautifully into the land and was once a model for appropriate building techniques to limit the impact to the Topanga ridges. With gorgeous rich redwood siding, the home is both immediately modern while still connected with the natural materials of the area including hand-poured and formed concrete using the local icon-rock.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
