A thoughtful reinvention of a N.D. Ferzacca and Robert L. Earl original blends California modernism with contemporary luxury.

LADERA HEIGHTS, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2025 / Beyond Shelter Real Estate Group, Los Angeles' leading experts in mid-century modern and architectural homes, proudly presents a rare opportunity to own an exquisitely re-imagined residence in the heart of Upper Ladera Heights.

Originally designed by celebrated architects N.D. Ferzacca and Robert L. Earl, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is a striking example of mid-century modern design, lovingly restored and elevated for contemporary living. Set on a generous lot in one of LA's most architecturally significant enclaves, the home seamlessly marries vintage character with thoughtful modern luxury.

Step through the original terrazzo entry into an airy, light-filled interior defined by soaring ceilings and a stunning floor-to-ceiling double-sided fireplace. The expansive open layout invites connection between living, dining and outdoor spaces. A bespoke chef's kitchen anchors the home with custom oak cabinetry, high-end appliances and a dramatic central island, crowned by alabaster pendants that float like sculpture.

Where Design Meets Sustainability

This home is as forward-thinking today as it was in the 1960s. A 31-panel solar array, EV charger and drought-conscious landscaping bring modern sustainability to a timeless design. Outdoors, a refinished freeform pool, mid-century pavers and a breeze block outdoor shower create a private sanctuary perfect for entertaining.

A Neighborhood of Legacy and Design

Upper Ladera Heights is a coveted neighborhood steeped in architectural heritage. The hillside community is known for its spacious lots, iconic homes and proximity to Silicon Beach, Playa del Rey, LAX and Culver City. Visionary architects like Ferzacca, Earl and Gregory Ain helped define the neighborhood's lasting visual identity.

"This home captures the essence of California modernism-bold design, elegant functionality, and a deep connection to place," says JB Fung of Beyond Shelter. "It's a true legacy property."
