The Deutsch House, 1954. John Lautner, Architect. Mid-century modern residence on a ridge off Mulholland Dr. with panoramic views of the mountains, city lights and the Hollywood sign. The use of natural materials and the indoor-outdoor flow are quintessential Lautner - open floor plan, tall ceilings, exposed wood rafters, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, teak paneling, a buff brick fireplace, and end grain wood floors all enhance the interior's relationship with the gardens and lovely mountain views beyond. Original built-in cabinetry by Lautner's favorite contractor, boatbuilder John de la Vaux. Main floor has living room, dining, eat-in kitchen, bedroom, full bath and powder room. Lower floor has second bedroom, bathroom, storage/office space, and two-car garage. Outdoor spaces includes wood decks, flagstone terrace, flat grassy yard and a kitchen garden. Room for a pool and spa. Property is fully fenced. Restoration by current owners includes updated kitchen with Miele appliances, updated baths and new electrical, windows, plumbing, and HVAC. An opportunity to own a true home as art by one of Southern California's great modernist architects.
