Welcome to The Jack Lucas Residence. Built in 1947 by architect Eric Black and with period renovations by Tony Unruh, AIA, the sharp and stylish mid-century modern home was designed to “always look modern” according to the wishes of its original owner. This Frank Lloyd Wright-esque beauty is a wonderful time capsule of Los Angeles’s signature architectural movement.
The post-war period provided many of Los Angeles’s signature mid-century modern homes. This two bedroom property sits atop a hillside ridge and is a classic example of the early years of the design and style that would come to define our city at large and Southern California living specifically.
The living room features a classic brick fireplace and hearth, cork floors, wood paneled walls, and a row of windows that frame jaw-dropping views of the Hollywood hillside from downtown to the ocean and beyond.
The fine and preserved mid-century details are sure to impress and inspire.
The formal dining room has floor-to-ceiling glass walls that offer views of the picturesque garden.
The cleverly designed kitchen has a built-in work space, bookshelves, ample shelving, wet bar, and room for a casual eat-in dining set..
The other half of the kitchen includes both a stainless steel refrigerator, stainless steel dishwasher, and a vintage stove.
The private master bedroom has enchanting views of the garden and built-in record and bookshelves, ideal for the music and book lover.
The master’s en suite bath is a lovely blend of vintage and new.
The second bedroom is modest in size but substantial in scope with a unique set of windows that allow inside a relaxing mountain breeze.
The second bathroom provides ample storage and a large walk-in tiled shower.
There is also room for a work space and office, perfect for the writer at home.
The two-car garage is spacious and has built-in cabinetry ideal for those hoping to maintain some of their must-have heirlooms and other treasured items.
The outdoor spaces are truly magical with multiple seating areas and terraced gardens that offer panoramic views above Mulholland Drive.
The views are truly stunning.
There is also plenty of space on the property to explore and enjoy nature and wildlife.
The majestic property comes alive at night. Imagine the evening get-togethers entertaining friends and family poolside.
The ship-like deck also has a romantic pool and many areas to relax or enjoy conversation with friends long into the evening.
Sunsets will become appointment viewings at 7400 Pyramid Place. This mid-century modern gem is a one-of-a-kind gem in an incredible enclave above Mulholland Drive.
