Rare Opportunity to Own a Famous Long Beach Case Study House
While LA is known for its vast array of varied residential architectural styles, the famed “Case Study Houses,” which were sponsored by Arts & Architecture in the mid-1900s, are especially emblematic in the Southern California locale.
Now, with the recent listing of one of Edward Killingsworth’s creations (on the market for the first time since it was built in the early 1960s), is the rare opportunity to own one of only two dozen homes.
Indoor and outdoor living are seamlessly connected here, where you will find two bedrooms and two full baths, along with a living room, office space, and elevated dining area. Slotted wood atrium ceilings, multiple skylights, and large expanses of glass provide an abundance of natural sunlight.
The owner’s privacy is enhanced with the gated entrance and high walls that secure the entire grounds. The home sits on more than half an acre within the confines of the famed Virginia Country Club, and overlooks its beautifully maintained golf course.
Located at 4606 N. Virginia Road in Long Beach, this home is listed for sale at $3.3 million. Private showings can be scheduled for interested purchasers.
LA Homes with Space and Amenities for Under $600K
Thinking that $600K isn’t enough to secure a sizeable and amenity-filled home in Los Angeles?
Think again, because there are plenty of options available in this price range.
Take, for instance, this cool Silver Lake one-bedroom, one-bath bungalow that offers nearly 600 square feet of interior living space, along with a two-car garage (with one of these spots converted to an office / studio space that even has its own entrance).
Along with a lengthy list of updates, this residence also offers plenty of places to enjoy the great outdoors, with both a front balcony and a back patio. List price for this home – located at 937 Robinson Street – is $599,000.
If the maintenance-free condo lifestyle is more your speed, this West LA two-bedroom, one-and-three-quarters bath unit at 1807 Camden Avenue (#3) has more than 1,060 square feet inside.
The sliding doors and dual pane windows provide lots of natural light. And, the updated kitchen here includes stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a lot of cabinet space. This condo is listed for sale at $595,000 (with homeowner’s association dues of $350 per month).

Unique Cahuenga Pass Home Waiting for the New Owner’s Personal Touch
Looking for a sizeable blank canvas that already offers some unbeatable mountain and valley views? Then this one-of-a-kind mid-century in Cahuenga Pass could be just what you’ve been waiting for.
The home was initially designed by famed architect Newell Taylor Reynolds in the 1950s as his own personal residence. Reynold’s wife, Bella Lewitzky, was an acclaimed choreographer and dancer – which explains the separate, sizeable 30 by 36 foot dance studio as one of its numerous amenities.
Perched on a private hillside, this home actually encompasses two primary structures – with the main house offering three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The living room features a freestanding fireplace, along with built-in furniture, and numerous walls of glass, which lend themselves to priceless views below.
A two-car carport provides plenty of space for off-street parking on the home’s quarter-acre lot. Admittedly, many of the features in the residence are somewhat dated, so it could use a bit of touch up and creativity. But, given that the structure is already firmly in place, the sky’s the limit.
Located at 3594 Multiview Drive, this unique residence is currently listed for sale at $1.1 million. Private tours can be arranged for interested purchasers.
Cozy Hollywood Dell Bungalow for Under $1 Million
Often referred to as the Elizabeth Reed House, this 1923 bungalow that is set within a spacious and private courtyard offers two bedrooms and two baths, along with some unique features such as polished concrete flooring and a pergola-shaded arcade that is accessed by four sets of French doors.
Its high ceilings, casement windows, skylights, and neutral décor throughout give this home a light, bright feel. There is plenty of room to spread out here, too, with 1,400 square feet of interior living space. Just some of the other amenities you’ll find in this residence include a working fireplace (with unique art tile), archways and built-ins, and even a separate office room.
In the kitchen you will find newer commercial grade Viking stainless steel appliances that would make any chef jealous. Add to that a plethora of storage space and a sizeable back yard, and this home could encompass the whole package.
Located at 6460 Odin Street in the Hollywood Dell locale – and within just a short distance from top-notch shopping, dining, hiking trails, and even the famed Hollywood Bowl, this cool home is listed for sale at $995,000. Private tours can be scheduled for interested buyers. But hurry, this one will go fast.
Roomy West Hollywood Condo in Walking Distance to the Sunset Strip
With nearly 740 square feet of interior space, this first floor, one-bedroom, one bath roomy West Hollywood condo just off Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue is light, bright, and ready for its new owner. The complex was designed by the famed architect Edward Fickett, and built in the mid-1950s.
Here you will find an updated – yet retro – kitchen and bath, along with a large walk-in closet and hardwood floors. There is also a spacious – and private – back patio, which provides some added room for the residents and guests to enjoy.
Just a few of the other plusses here include ample storage, a tandem-style garage with room for two vehicles, and a community swimming pool that is just a few short steps from the unit’s front door. If this condo complex looks familiar, it may be because it has been featured in numerous films throughout the years.
Located at 1400 North Hayworth Avenue (Unit #3), in the Hollywood Riviera complex (and adjacent to the famed Sunset Strip), this condo unit is currently on the market for $589K (with homeowner’s association fees of $412 per month). Private showings can be scheduled for interested buyers. But hurry because units in this locale rarely come available.
