Just three years after the legendary mid-century architect Richard Banta built the iconic Banta House for himself in the hills above Sunset Plaza, he used the same renderings to build this chic 1961 gem located in the hills of Beachwood Canyon.
This unique home is nestled in the hillside on a rather large lot with incredible views of the Hollywoodland canyon and the Hollywood sign.
One key difference between The Banta House and 2743 Hollyridge Drive is the home’s central courtyard has been reversed. Over at The Banta House, the courtyard is positioned at the front of the property. That was in order to create a sense of privacy from the bustling Sunset Boulevard. But in this case, Banta wanted to take full advantage of the sweeping canyon views, so the home’s courtyard is, naturally, located at the back of the house.
The home’s one-of-a-kind exterior features copper lighting fixtures, a rock garden, and rare pine trees.
The front door opens to an entry foyer with walls of glass. Slide one of them open and enter this amazing courtyard. The courtyard creates that indelible indoor/outdoor living that’s so sought after in Southern California.
The courtyard is the perfect place to relax or entertain. The space is partially shaded and adds a sizable amount of square footage to the living space.
The treetop hillside views are sure to dazzle you and your friends and family. I personally can’t wait to see the canyon lights from this vantage point in the evening.
Living and dining spaces are placed at one wing of the home. The living room has a sharply updated gas fireplace, recessed lighting, and hardwood floors.
The kitchen features plenty of storage, an eat-in bar, and a skylight.
Down the hall find the home’s two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The primary bedroom has easy outdoor access to the central courtyard, a large closet with sliding doors, and a sleek en suite private bath.
The second bedroom has treetop views, a skylight, and would be perfect as a guest bedroom, home office, or artists studio.
Plus, I just wanted to include the home’s super charming second bathroom. It has lovely vintage tiles and a nice soaking tub. There’s also laundry located in the carport, plus central heat and air conditioning.
This magical home offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Beachwood’s preeminent mid-century post and beam homes. It has been lovingly maintained for decades and awaits its next owner to make it their own.
