9601 OAK PASS RD, BEVERLY HILLS, CA 90210

Los Angeles is finally having a modern renaissance. After years of developers building McMansions, the trend has turn to one-of-a-kind architectural homes. The majority of these new projects perched on hillsides unfortunately are starting to look the same and lack one very important ingredient...Privacy! 9601 Oak Pass Road is set back away from the street among 3.5 arces of oak trees and cascading green canyon views. Classic modern lines and a sophisticated warm palette of grey and wood tones makes this property stand out from the numerous cold contemporary properties that are currently on the market. This one feels like a home. It's a place to live, love, entertain, be inspired and to create...and that is exactly why I love it.

THE SCHNABEL HOUSE - 526 NORTH CARMELINA AVE, LOS ANGELES, CA 90049

One of my favorite "Home as Art" residences in Los Angeles is one of Frank Gehry's signature homes, the 1989 Schnable House.  It was  purchased by famed architectural pedigree flipper Michael LaFetra, who I sold a prime Beverly Hills A. Quincy Jones architectural home to a few years ago. Currently it is on the market and was just reduced. Certainly this is no ordinary home, and it is just a matter of time that an extraordinary Buyer will scoop it up as a trophy.  - Markus
