Rewind
Thoughtfully reimagined for
the 21st century by noted architect
Eve Sobesky, this residence in Pacific
Pa l i sades' coveted upper R iv iera
neighborhood has retained its enduring
mid-century modern appeal. Formerly owned by Academy
Award nominee Robert E. Thompson, and now resided in by
his daughter, the home showcases bright, open living spaces
bedecked with soaring ceilings, white oak flooring, soaring
walls of glass and a distinctive design. "First time on the
market in decades, this ranch-style home has a 'wow' factor
that hits you like a warm, California breeze when you walk
through the modernized front door and into the spacious open
floor plan," says listing agent Cynthia Gates. The secluded,
primary suite is "a slice of heaven," she adds, complete with
an oversized marble soaking tub ideal for bubble baths, a cozy
double-sided fireplace and dazzling mountain vistas. A lofty
great room, meanwhile, opens via sliding glass doors to an
outdoor dining area capped off with a majestic tree running
through its center. -W.B.

Stunning ocean, city and mountain
vistas set the tone for this pavilion-style
dwelling nestled atop a secluded
promontory in Bel-Air. Add in a chic
design masterfully crafted by a protégé
of renowned architecture firm Buff &
Hensman, and this is "an ideal property for
someone who seeks incredible views and
has a love for mid-century architecture,"
says listing agent Kelli Isbell. "The home
captures what all buyers want—easy
indoor-outdoor flow. You're drawn to the
incredible views from every part of the
house." Also of note is the home's overall
simplistic, clean feel, says Isbell. Think
open living space highlighted by floor-
to-ceiling walls of glass, wood-framed
ceilings and limestone flooring throughout,
paired with highlights like a modern large,
marble eat-in kitchen with top-notch
appliances that opens to a formal dining
room, and a posh master retreat boasting
a fireplace, bath with dual sinks, a soaking
tub, vanity and walk-in closet, and access
to an open patio with gas fire-pit. Topping
it all off? Drought-tolerant landscaping
designed by an award-winning landscape
architect featured in The New York Times
Magazine. -W.B.
