Fabulous Midcentury Modern Pad in Beverly Hills Swings Onto the Market for $5M

Another fantastic midcentury modern home has hit the market in Southern California.

The swinging Beverly Hills Post Office pad is listed for $4,995,000.

Built in 1959 and known as the William Greene Residence, the 3,537-square-foot home was designed by Beverly Hills architect David Freedman and has since been renovated.

Situated in the hills of posh Benedict Canyon, the home was cleverly designed to showcase canyon views from nearly every room. A number of terraces also face the verdant vistas.

Restored residence

The single-story, high-ceilinged home has been meticulously restored and updated by the current owners, who purchased it for $2,425,000 in 2006, according to Realtor.com® records.

The renovations expertly retained the abode’s original midcentury modern vibe. A restored fireplace in the living room is a particularly good example of this new-old balancing act. It’s set into a rock wall that extends outside through a floor-to-ceiling glass pane.

The restoration also included the terrazzo floors, plus the teak-paneled walls and cabinetry, many of which are now painted white, which adds to the home’s airy feeling. The paneled ceiling has also been painted white, punctuated by solid wood beams.

The home features three bedrooms and four baths. Glass sliders offer backyard access from the primary suite.

There is no pool in the backyard—yet. But there is an expansive green lawn on the .3-acre lot, with “plenty of room for a pool,” as the listing notes.

The home’s front exterior is distinguished by an elegant porte cochère; a period-appropriate, bright-yellow front door; and a six-car, gated driveway.

Celeb status

Once listed as a rental for $25,000 per month, the home’s value reflects the neighborhood’s desirability. Celebrities including Cher, Harry Styles, Paul McCartney, Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, and Eddie Murphy have all called this area home.
