Detailed Introduction Of This Home
First offering since 2001. The Sommers House, 1954, Robert Kennard, F.A.I.A. with pool and restoration by Marmol Radziner. The ideal of California Mid-century Modernist living is nearly extinct in Beverly Hills. This rare family residence is the exception. Legend has it that this house was the first project completed by Kennard after he left Richard Neutra's office. Richard Neutra's aesthetic is reflected throughout. The generous nearly half acre street to street lot offers privacy, and is heavily planted presenting as a forest-like landscape with hillside nature trails leading up to Loma Linda Drive above. The residence is elevated behind a circular private drive above the street minimizing auditory impacts from traffic.
