The Mitchell Residence, by architects Buff, Straub & Hensman (1959). Offered for only the second time since being built. It has been lovingly cared for and miraculously remains in almost entirely original condition. Situated on more than an acre in Rolling Hills Estates, the house embraces a tranquil and incredibly private setting with expansive floor to ceiling glazing. Exterior and interiors have been blended together seamlessly, with living spaces and adjacent decks placed amidst the towering pines to bring nature into every room. A split level delineates the open plan dining area, family room, and kitchen from the sunken living room and its monumental fireplace with cantilevered mantle. The details are exceptional: signature post and beam vocabulary, translucent glass screening, original light fixtures, and clever and abundant built-in cabinetry. Mature California native plantings populate the surrounding gardens. An idyllic canyon retreat with panoramic city and mountain views, ocean breezes, and a sense of solitude that belies its close proximity to the vibrant beach communities nearby.
