Published and recognized mid-century Case Study architect Craig Ellwood, The Bryon Lamar Johnson House, 1953 is the third in the series of Ellwood's recorded steel hillside houses, located in Crestwood Hills of Brentwood, on prestigious Tigertail Road. Here is a great example of pedigree mid century architecture at the top of Crestwood Hills, an incredibly prized Ellwood, here you will find a meticulous restoration honoring the Ellwood design ethos. Conceptually pristine, once called "Beauty of the House of Steel" in the LA Examiner. Upgraded seismically, crisp modular frame steel columns and wooden beams enable the house to ride out from the slope creating a floating effect for the home, by night twinkling lights of LA below the living room, by day ocean views and Catalina Island. The residence incorporates 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, plus new ADU 1 bed w/full steam shower bath & kitchen direct to the pool area. Whole house automation, solar panels, Tesla power walls, EV charger, brand new roof w/rooftop sprinkler, terrazzo floors, Lutron lighting, Baldwin and Fleetwood doors/windows, new sewer and gas line, motorized shades, restored gas/wood burning fireplace, water filtration, Gaggenau, Wolf Subzero appliances, outdoor kitchen w/Lynx Barbecue & pizza oven, grass lawn w/period chaise lounges, skylights, Waterworks fixtures. Tigertail trailhead steps from door, minutes to Brentwood Country Mart & Farmers Market. Likely eligible for Mills Tax as a potential Historic-Cultural Monument, affords significant tax savings. History preserved and restored.
