A Glendale home, captured during its construction by architectural photographer Julius Shulman in 1961, is on the market for $2.595 million.
Designed by the noted architectural firm Buff and Hensman, this 3,247-square-foot residence sits on a quarter-acre lot in the Bellehurst Hillslopes neighborhood near the Rossmoyne Historic District. It features a main house and a permitted accessory dwelling unit with a separate entrance.
“Not only does this home boast significant architectural provenance, but it was also immortalized by mid-century photographer Julius Shulman, who captured stunning images of its construction on his Hasselblad in 1961,” said Jermayne Shannon of Compass, the listing agent. “These prints now reside in the archives of the Getty Museum, preserving the legacy of this home as a part of California’s architectural heritage.”
Records indicate the property last sold in October 2019 for $1.26 million.
In recent years, the main house has been reimagined and features three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a great room that combines the living and dining areas.
There’s a sandstone fireplace between the family and living room. The dining area flows into the new European oak kitchen. A large south-facing deck off the entry level allows natural light to fill the main living space. It is one of multiple decks.
Ascend the floating oak and fir staircase to find the sunlit primary suite, which boasts a fireplace, a soaking tub and a walk-in closet. It also offers views of downtown Los Angeles.
The one bedroom, one bathroom ADU contains a sitting room and new European oak kitchen. This unit also offers direct access to two decks.
California native plants, a century-old live oak and a cascading waterfall that spills into a pond adorn the landscape.
An attached two-car garage with access to a renovated laundry room completes the listing.
