Description
The Harlan Lee House, 1961. Jones and Emmons, FAIA. Originally commissioned for developer Harlan Lee and featured as the Good Housekeeping Model House, this residence epitomizes a "dream house with young ideas" that defined the era's innovative spirit. Behind iconic sky-blue double doors lies a secluded garden courtyard, a central design element that allows the house to breathe and provides direct access to multiple wings of the house. Classic post and beam construction with soaring high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls seamlessly connects the interior to the lush landscaping and swimming pool. Renovations have honored the original 1961 vision, restoring signature features like terrazzo floors and custom millwork. The cinematic living room is centered around a minimalist open fireplace. With over 2200 square feet of living space, this 4 bedroom/3 bath midcentury refuge also features an additional flex space with separate entrance, ideal for creatives/studio/home office. Situated on over a third acre in Tarzana's Royal Homes subdivision, the home's terraced lot offers views of the valley and mountains. Described by Good Housekeeping as "a house with the outdoors built in", this property represents a rare opportunity to live in a piece of architectural history that has been preserved as a living experience of 1960's modernism. Also available for lease furnished for $12,000 per month.
