Property Description
The Thorgusen Residence, 1953 A masterwork of mid-century modernism, The Thorgusen Residence stands as a rare and refined architectural gem, meticulously restored and thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living. Conceived in 1953 by architect Robert "Boulder" Thorgusen and set within a lush landscape designed by the iconic Garrett Eckbo, the property, affectionately dubbed "The Forest" - embodies a seamless integration of structure and nature. This (2) bed (2) bath 2,326 S/F is nestled on a secluded lot in the Hollywood Hills, the home is hidden from street view, revealing itself slowly through a private approach. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the signature pie-pan carport and bold folded plate rooflines - distinctive mid-century elements that reflect the era's innovative spirit. Expansive walls of glass, both interior and exterior, blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, while subtle ambient lighting built into walls and pillars further enhances the ethereal atmosphere, especially at twilight. Inside, a dynamic interplay of ceiling heights and striking architectural forms creates a spatial rhythm, punctuated by tranquil water features - including surrounding landscaping and pool - that mirror the natural environment and invite reflection. The structure's folded plate roofs are not just visible but celebrated, adding sculptural drama to the interior experience. The private master suite offers a serene retreat, featuring its own fireplace and an adjacent bedroom that opens directly onto the landscaped garden - an intimate, lush escape. The formal dining room overlooks the pool and flows effortlessly into a secluded backyard, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertainment. Meanwhile, the main sitting room serves as a quintessential study in mid-century design, anchored by an original fireplace and expansive glass that invites nature in. This extraordinary residence is offered as part of a rare compound opportunity, sharing a private driveway with a larger neighboring home located at 9031 Hollywood Hills Road, ideal for multigenerational living or a private guest estate compound. A turnkey offering steeped in Los Angeles' rich architectural legacy, The Thorgusen Residence is more than a home; it is an enduring work of art. Additional Features Include: Miele and Gaggenau appliances, Fleetwood windows and doors, Integrated Crestron sound and automation system, Dedicated backup generator
