Designed in 1968 as the Hezlep Residence by acclaimed Southern California architect Harold B. Zook, this remarkable estate represents the work of one of the region's most respected modernists. Set on more than 30,000 square feet and positioned well back from the street, the property offers exceptional privacy and resort-style… Read More amenities.A defining feature of the residence is its extensive use of natural stone, integrated throughout the interior and exterior to create a seamless connection between architecture and landscape. Arrival is unforgettable as a bridge spans a dry moat inspired by the desert-modern homes of Palm Springs.Classic late Mid-Century Modern design elements are evident throughout, including vaulted ceilings, expansive walls of glass, strong horizontal lines, and a multi-level floor plan filled with natural light. Every major room enjoys a visual connection to the surrounding gardens, pool, and mature landscape.The private primary suite occupies its own wing and features separate bathrooms, dressing areas, a private deck, and an adjoining library with custom built-in shelving. The upper level serves as a dedicated bedroom wing where each bedroom retains its original vanity sink, a charming reminder of the home's late-1960s origins.One of the home's most memorable architectural features is a sculptural spiral staircase connecting the bedroom wing directly to the kitchen below. Both functional and playful, it reflects Zook's creativity while adding visual drama and character rarely found in contemporary homes.Designed for entertaining, the main level showcases soaring ceilings, dramatic stone accents, a vintage 'Mad Men' era bar, and two original fireplaces that serve as striking architectural focal points. More than decorative features, the fireplaces are integral elements of the home's design, anchoring the principal gathering spaces with warmth, scale, and timeless Mid-Century style.The grounds continue the architectural narrative with a classic swimming pool, separate pool house, retro tiki bar, and matching his-and-her changing suites complete with bathrooms and showers, creating a private compound reminiscent of Southern California's golden age of entertaining.An oversized office and modern amenities complement the home's architectural pedigree, offering flexibility for today's lifestyle while preserving the integrity of Zook's original vision. Architectural residences of this caliber rarely become available. Read Less
