Built in 1961 by Edward "Ted" Grenzbach, AIA, Architect to the Stars, this Franklin Hills residence offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across approximately 1,349 square feet, including a versatile bonus room, with a direct view of the Griffith Observatory and the city from almost every room. Rarely do Grenzbach homes come to market. To lease one is almost unheard of. Grenzbach designed the private homes of Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Johnny Carson, Gene Kelly, Cher, Rod Stewart, Rock Hudson and Dinah Shore, from the Sinatra beach house in Malibu to estates in Bel-Air. His signature: architecture that disappears into the view, privacy without isolation, and rooms built for living and entertaining in equal measure. The home is defined by a sweeping curved roofline that sets it apart from anything else on the hill. Enter through a large, open front courtyard, a private outdoor room made for gatherings, morning coffee or quiet evenings. Inside, the main living areas keep the soul of the original design: hand-laid parquet floors, rich original wood paneling and period glasswork that catches the light all day. At the center, a free-floating, freestanding fireplace anchors the living space. A balcony runs the full width of the home, so the Observatory and the city skyline are part of everyday life, from morning light over the hills to the Observatory glowing at night. A flexible bonus room flows off the main living space, ideal for an office, studio or media room. Thoughtfully restored without compromise: electrical, plumbing and core building systems have been brought fully current while every original detail remains intact. Fully equipped with stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, and in-unit washer and dryer. Pet friendly. Minutes to Los Feliz Village, Silver Lake, Griffith Park trails and the Observatory itself.
