Hillside Mid-Century Post & Beam Masterpiece with Pool | 5536 Tuxedo Ter

Secluded and serene, this circa 1961 Los Feliz Oaks mid-century post-and-beam residence is a modernist masterpiece. Celebrity-owned and wildly pedigreed, it embodies luxury and timeless architectural elegance in perfect harmony with its jaw-dropping hillside surroundings.

From the light and bright foyer the unique mix of materials and post and beam architecture immediately entrances the eye.

The expansive main living room has a beautiful brick fireplace that is original to the home, clerestory windows on all sides that simply flood the main living areas with brilliant natural light, enhancing the home’s massive sense of height, openness, and indoor/outdoor living.

Perfectly preserved from the ’60s, with thoughtful modern updates and upgrades throughout, any visiting guests will immediately be awed by the home’s exquisite style and design.

The main living room has several pairs of glass doors that open to the central pool.

Adjacent to the living room is a gorgeous built-in redwood library and lounge area.

And adjacent to that is a casual family den with more built-in bookshelves. It’s the perfect spot for a cozy evening in enjoying the season’s Academy screeners.

The custom chef’s kitchen is the true heart of the home with lovely open shelving, royal green cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and stunning chandeliers. It’s the ideal spot to gather with friends and family preparing a luxurious meal before heading to the attached dining room or the backyard for an al fresco evening under the stars.

The open plan layout with room after room of lounging and entertaining spaces make this post and beam home evocative of the large-scale entertaining indicative of the era it was built.

You can almost imagine Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway discussing their upcoming shoot of Bonnie and Clyde with director Arthur Penn in the solarium and running into, say, Elizabeth Taylor or Sidney Poitier at the pool.

And that pool, darling—what a pool! It’s the star of the show, glimmering from nearly every room, dripping with the effortless glamour of a Slim Aarons photograph.

The primary suite is thoughtfully situated in its own wing.

The suite has a luxurious en suite bath with a double vanity with polished concrete countertops, clerestory windows for bright light, and plenty of storage.

The resort-quality step-in shower is beautifully blue with room for two.

A dreamy walk-in closet completes this intimate and private primary suite.

The second and third bedrooms each have charms of their own, and both have outdoor access.

The second bathroom is equally stylish as the first, and just as blue. This one arrives with a floating pedestal sink and a relaxing soaking tub.

5536 Tuxedo Terrace is an exceptional mid-century modern property that offers the rare opportunity to experience the the finest in Southern California living at a stylish architecturally significant post and beam home brimming with a storied Hollywood history. All in the fantastic location of the quiet and secluded Los Feliz Oaks.
