Architectural Masterpiece by Raphael Soriano | Unobstructed DTLA Views Tucked in the hills of Mount Washington, this extraordinary residence is more than a home"”it's a living artifact of California modernism. Designed by Raphael Soriano, one of the founding voices of the mid-century movement, this property represents one of fewer than 50 structures he ever built"”and one of only a handful still standing today. Soriano's work helped define an era. He was hand-selected for the legendary Case Study House program and was a pioneer in modular steel and aluminum construction, decades ahead of his time. While many of his works have been lost to fire, demolition, or neglect, this one remains intact"”unlandmarked and unprotected, offering a rare chance to steward a significant piece of architectural history. Now thoughtfully updated, the home honors its roots while embracing the needs of modern life. Spanning 3,360 sq ft, the residence maintains its original steel frame, walls of glass, and clean, industrial lines. Expansive city views stretch across nearly every room, and natural light animates the open floor plan from morning to night. Warm birch cabinetry, polished concrete floors, and minimalist finishes blend seamlessly with Soriano's vision. Upstairs, four serene bedrooms include a primary suite with private balcony and spa-like bath. The lower level functions as a flexible living space"”complete with its own entrance, bedroom, kitchenette, and direct access to the wraparound deck"”perfect for extended family, guests, or creative pursuits. A detached three-car garage crowns a 600 sq ft bonus unit with a separate bedroom, ideal as a studio, rental, or guest quarters. Tiered gardens, multiple balconies, and expansive decks offer the kind of effortless indoor-outdoor flow that defines California living. This is not just real estate. It's a rare opportunity to own a home that should be in a museum"”but isn't. Which means you can live in it, protect it, and write its next chapter. If you know, you know. And maybe you're the one who does. Potentially eligible for corporate & mid term rentals with similar properties advertised for $18- $22k per month.
