Property Description

A rare opportunity from renowned third-generation Los Angeles architect, Eugene Weston, III, for one of his few personally designed and built, mid-century, contemporary gems in the area. As seen in the photos from Sunset Magazine (October, 1956), this natural all-wood 4 bedroom, 3 bath residence nestled on a spacious, private lot allowing easy access to Paradise Canyon Elementary and an abundance of hiking/walking trails, showcases traditional Japanese elements with contemporary Western design principles. The entry atrium creates an engowa or genken-type space with access to the public and private areas of the house. The horizontal window mullions echo shoji screen designs. Combining the living room, kitchen and dining area in one space foreshadows the great room,'' popular today. Large window areas allow natural warming light during all months of the year while wooden sliding doors are used extensively, opening to lovely covered patios and the relaxing pool area.
