The Blevins Residence, 1965. Jenkins & Barker, AIA. This is my favorite type of home, one where the current owner takes a cool 1960's house with great lines, and transforms it into a modern masterpiece with updated finishes. That is exactly what happened here. The current owner purchased a dated, but cool and oozing with potential, 1965 home in a prime location with explosive views for $1,550,000 in 2009 and transformed it into the showplace it is now. Lying just off Mulholland Dr on desirable Torreyson, it is now a fantastic 3,600+ sq. ft modern home on a large over 13,000+ sq. ft lot with rolling lawns and a large pool. The fact that it has grass on a large mostly flat lot is key, as it is tough to get both an updated house, views, a pool, and a good sized yard in the hills at a "reasonable" price. The listing describes it's views, which overlook the entire valley and out to the San Gabriel Mountains, and nod to it's modernist roots by saying, "A pure homage to the indoor/outdoor aesthetic of 60's modernism, the bright & open high-ceilinged public rooms feature walls of glass with views from every room." Pure poetry and like living in a work of art.
