Mid-Century Modern with Butterfly Roof Above the Sunset Strip | 1549 Rising Glen Road

Designed in 1956 by acclaimed architect David Hyun and reimagined by Standard Architecture, this museum-quality mid-century modern home is a study in restraint and reinvention.

1549 Rising Glen Road
Los Angeles, CA 90069

$6,195,000 | 4 Beds | 3.5 Baths | 3,000 Sq. Ft. | $2,065 Price/Sq.Ft. | 9,824 Sq. Ft. Lot | Built in 1957

Winner of the 2020 AIA Los Angeles Residential Design Award, it honors its origins while embracing a thoughtful, contemporary clarity.

A layered butterfly roof defines the home’s silhouette, its cedar-clad underside folding seamlessly into the interior ceiling and echoing the home’s palette of bone-white and soft slate.

The original structure remains intact, but the interiors have been transformed with natural materials and a modern sensibility.

This one-of-a-kind architectural marvel has been featured in Architectural Digest, Dwell, and Galerie, to name a few.

Inside, expansive living spaces dissolve into the dreamy poolside terrace, where glass walls retract to erase the boundary between indoors and out.

Surrounded by tall privacy hedges, the backyard is a private oasis with a glistening lap pool, a decadent jacuzzi spa, and multiple areas to relax, lounge, or entertain al fresco.

Back inside, the home’s brilliant use of immensely tall ceilings and oversized clerestory windows drench the spaces in great natural light.

The formal dining room is adjacent to the sleek, stylish, and brand new kitchen. No expense was spared during the home’s measured restoration, as evidenced by this extraordinarily rare pivot glass door.

1549 Rising Glen Road has a total of four luxe bedrooms including this inspiring indoor/outdoor primary suite.

This expansive suite opens through multiple glass panes to a perfect private patio that includes a built-in glass fire pit and a veritable orchard of olive trees.

The primary’s ensuite bath is a masterclass in blending the mid-century modern style’s sharp lines with today’s muted tones of polished concrete and cement gray. The pop of color? It arrives via the amazing picture window which brilliantly frames that lush, verdant landscaping

A private wellness garden includes a cedar sauna, cold plunge, and open-air shower, tucked within the landscape like a well-kept secret.

Tucked into the hills just above the Sunset Strip, this storied enclave of Los Angeles offers some of the city’s most coveted real estate. Where glass-walled moderns, classic mid-century gems, and architectural trophy homes perch above the glittering panorama of city lights.

Long favored by Hollywood insiders and music legends seeking privacy within close proximity of the Strip’s iconic nightlife, the neighborhood blends seclusion with spectacle. Curving streets like Sunset Plaza Drive and Rising Glen Road trace the hillside’s ridgelines, revealing dramatic views at every turn.

At 1549 Rising Glen Road, every detail speaks to the enduring brilliance of mid-century design—shrewdly edited, timelessly elevated, and always unmistakably alive.
