5500 Tuxedo Terrace

5500 Tuxedo Terrace. A mid-century modern masterpiece circa 1962, exemplary of the time and era in which it was built, reimagined by famed June Street Architecture. Influenced by the Case Study House Program of "Arts & Architecture", this property echoes the design of some of our greatest thinkers and visionaries, and creates what we now think of as the modern California home with simple yet dynamic forms and spaces. Reminiscent of the celebrated work of noted architects such as Cliff May, Pierre Koenig and Richard Neutra, June Street Architecture is equally as mindful with a clear creative vision: a celebration of nature, light and harmony. Dramatically situated on a 3/4 of an acre promontory in the prestigious Los Feliz Oaks and perched above neighboring properties, the home provides unobstructed site lines to the city below and west to the ocean. The architect created the ultimate California living experience by blurring the relationship between the interiors of the home and the outdoor spaces. The expansive grounds and gardens are the backdrop of this esteemed residence. Mature trees and established plants provide privacy, while the salt water swimming pool floats, suspended above Los Angeles. Warm woods and plaster throughout. Separate guest space with closet and bathroom adds to the flexibility and practicality of the property. Emotional and peaceful. Gated at the end of a cul-de-sac. Moments to the studios and downtown.
