Welcome to this 1959 Mid-Century home by Joseph Railla, AIA, known as Residence Yoshikawa. Thoughtfully updated with a refined, Zen-inspired sensibility, the home blends its original architectural integrity with a calm, material-driven design approach. Set high above Beachwood Canyon, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom + office home captures sweeping views of the Downtown Los Angeles skyline, the Hollywood Sign, and Griffith Observatory. Expansive walls of glass invite natural light throughout while framing the surrounding canyon landscape. Step through the entry, where the gentle sound of water introduces the home's tranquil atmosphere, and continue through double doors into the interior. An office off the foyer provides a flexible work-from-home space. The open living and dining areas, anchored by a period barrel fireplace, flow seamlessly to a covered Ipe wood deck accessible from the living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom creating effortless indoor-outdoor living with an eastern orientation for morning light. The kitchen offers custom finishes and direct access to the deck, ideal for outdoor dining, relaxing, and entertaining. The primary suite features an en-suite bath and a wall of glass with expansive views, while the secondary bedroom complete with its own bath functions equally well as a guest suite, office, or creative studio. A curated palette of stone, glass, and wood adds warmth and continuity throughout. Select design enhancements include hand-set stonework and custom surfaces that emphasize texture, balance, and connection to the natural setting. Below, a garden area with citrus trees offers a peaceful outdoor retreat. Additional features include hardwood floors, central HVAC, and an attached one-car garage with direct access from the second bedroom. A rare opportunity to own a timeless architectural home that pairs Mid-Century design with a serene, modern sensibility.
