Form, program, and detail are brilliantly resolved to serve the function of modern good living in a private space where indoor-outdoor distinctions disappear at will. Here, Zoltan Pali, F.A.I.A., carefully sites the residence for both mountain and ocean vistas on a wide, flat, private drive atop the highest ridge above Trousdale Estates. At the street, the residence is commanding in the western architectural tradition, yet paradoxically affords a lifestyle of peaceful living in accord with nature in the eastern architectural tradition, interpreted for the 21st century. Residence includes 4 bedrooms, 5 baths.

E D M A N D S H O U S E , 1 9 1 7 Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, the Cotswold Cottage built for wealthy widow Lydia C. Edmands exemplified the Heineman brothers' creative tenure during the interpretive Arts and Crafts architectural movement from 1895-1918. The rolled- roof edges, half-timbers, and large eyebrow gable clearly sets the Edmands House apart from its Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean Revival neighbors. The seemingly whimsical design of the cottage displays the Heineman brothers' skill at adapting historic styles while simultaneously displaying a sense of folly in their design. Generous common areas on the first floor, including a solarium, office, formal dining room and very large living room, add an intangible value for hosting large gatherings and events. Residence includes 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, pool, and guesthouse with bedroom, bath, kitchen and living room. 1233WentworthAve.com $ 4 , 9 8 0 , 0 0 0 // M AT T H E W B E R K L E Y 6 2 6 . 6 6 5 . 3 6 9 9 H A R W E L L H A M I L T O N H A R R I S , F.

For this reason I have carefully avoided their use. Here, the exception proves the rule. With a clear conscience I claim the Blair Residence to be a genuine masterpiece of Southern California's built environment. Following a meticulous multi-year restoration, the property reflects a timeless brilliance in terms of siting, use of materials, use of space, suitability to purpose, and fully resolved architectural integrity. The magic of the artist's residence and studio is alive and well, ready to enliven and enhance the life of the next special owner(s) whose needs are compatible with this unique offering. Located in the Hollywood Hills, just West of the Cahuenga Pass, the residence is sited for privacy and views of the San Fernando Valley on a carefully landscaped hillside slope, and includes open plan living areas, bedroom, bath, artist's studio and original poured concrete two-car garage. $ 1 , 6 0 0 , 0 0 0 // C R O S B Y D O E C O U RT E S Y O F A R C H I T E C T U R E 4 S A L E .
