Available to market for the first time in 57 years, the Wertheimer House is a rare opportunity for architecture enthusiasts to preserve and restore an untouched piece of Los Angeles history. Documented by influential mid-century photographer Julius Shulman in 1962, this Beverly Glen canyon retreat articulates the major ideas of Southern California modernism: simplicity, economy, integrity and harmony with the natural environment. Built in 1959 by architect Lester Wertheimer, FAIA, as his own family residence and offered in its original condition, the home features two bedrooms that open onto a shared balcony, two bathrooms, an office (or possible third bedroom), as well as a private backyard patio nestled into the hillside and shaded by a canopy of mature oak and eucalyptus trees. Mid-century details include original custom built-ins and fixtures, three fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, dynamic integration with nature, and an efficient two-story layout for harmonious living. Other amenities include a new roof and gutter system, off-street parking for two cars and easy access to UCLA, the Getty Center and Skirball Cultural Center, the Glen Centre as well as all the dining, shopping and services of Beverly Hills, Westwood, Ventura Boulevard and Brentwood. Nearby hiking trails and canyon roads connect you to the natural beauty of Stone Canyon Reservoir and the Santa Monica Mountains. The house is zoned for the coveted Roscomare Road Elementary School. With only two owners in its lifetime, the Wertheimer House seeks a new generation of stewardship to guide it into its next chapter.
