ROBERT SKINNER'S The Schachter House, 1965

First offering. Still owned by the original family that commissioned the distinguished architect, known for his significant contributions to both Beverly Hills and Trousdale Estates, this definitive Mid-Century Modern post-and-beam home is well-positioned for restoration by any design enthusiast. Located at the end of a quiet dead-end street, the residence is gracefully set back via a concealed drive leading to the central motor court and elegant front facade.
Split-level staircase entry, with water garden feature and original tiles. Splendid living room with dappled light, library pony wall, anchored fireplace, and large glass panels. The kitchen with breakfast area is open to a private outdoor deck. The formal dining room also provides direct access to an outdoor patio and the rear yard. Two bedrooms with a shared bathroom face the foremost portion of the residence. Slightly elevated, a den/living room provides refuge, and a more sequestered primary bedroom suite, with two separate bathrooms.
Numerous distinct outdoor spaces, quiet landscaped areas, paved patio spots, and an adjacent raised pool with patio decking. Generously and privately sited on over half an acre parcel with mature specimen trees. A large rear yard offers unbounded possibilities, including potential ADU expansion.
