A stunningly preserved Mid Century nestled in the trees at the top of Mount Washington. This post-and-beam home embodies the ideals of the era: structural clarity, connection to nature, and a belief that good design should be simple, rational, and expressed in its materials. Constructed in 1961 by Sam Kiyotoki AIA, with only two prior owners, this property is replete with classical mid century modern architecture that defined the LA landscape in the fifties and sixties. Kiyotoki was a graduate of USC Architecture School at a time when the school was the preeminent generator of modern California design, and his impressive career spanned projects across Japan, Morocco, Hawaii, and California; including Mariners Village in Marina del Rey and private residences in Crestwood Hills. Discreetly situated and set atop a gently sloping double lot of over 10,600sf, the home's floor plan is comfortable and functional with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms plus a direct entry garage. With many elements original to the build still intact, this home is a testament to the care that has been taken to preserve the home. The main level offers wonderful circulation and flow, with ribbons of windows framing expansive canyon views toward the San Gabriel mountain range. The living room with gas burning fireplace features original louvered window and Louis Poulsen pendant light below vaulted wood beam ceilings. The addition of skylights bring in wonderful natural light and tree top views of the property'
