Footprint: 1,784 square feet (four bedrooms, two baths)

From the Agent: "When architect Jim Weiner found this house, it was a diamond in the rough. But he recognized the potential this jewel offered, keeping the good bones of the house and introducing a new kitchen, bathrooms, and other finishes in a sensitive and thoughtful manner. Inspired by the architecture of A. Quincy Jones, Whitney Smith, and Edgardo Contini, the original post-and-beam construction, tongue-and-groove ceilings, stacked bond fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass remain intact. Drawing on his environmental design expertise, the architect also provided a strong ecological sensibility to the project, with solar panels, an electric car charger, a rainwater collection system, and nontoxic cork and Marmoleum floors throughout. The result is a cohesive composition that is not only beautiful, but green.

From the Agent: "Set within a naturally lush, green setting in Bel Air Canyon, this complete renovation restores the integrity of an abandoned 1959 Bill Mack home with contemporary artistic flare. Through the surgical replacement of its original wood structure, windows, doors, and decking, the renovation aimed to maintain the best of the building’s detailing, while sensitively adding new cabinetry, doors, windows, floors, tiling, structure, and guardrails throughout. By combining traditional vertical grain Douglas fir, redwood, and cherry with contemporary stone, stainless steel, and metal materials, this modern home has become more in tune with contemporary building technology and design culture."
