1182 Angelo Drive

Authentic mid-century modern by acclaimed architect, Alfred T. Wilkes. Situated in lower BHPO on highly coveted Angelo Drive, this 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home, originally constructed in 1955, is perfectly sited on an extremely rare, private promontory, tucked far back from the street on a large, discreet flag lot;… perhaps the last of its kind in the area. A lot so unique and special, it is reported the original builder selected this property for his own, over several others nearby. The home and roughly 150 foot wide rear lot line commands gorgeous canyon and city views and is surrounded by lush landscaping and mature trees; an absolutely idyllic setting. The sprawling single-story floor-plan is thoughtfully designed, offering its residents grand rooms throughout, private bedroom suites, each opening onto patios or onto the wrap around terrace, a large cook's kitchen, formal dining room and open public spaces with seamless transitions, both indoor and out. A dramatic, dual-sided, angled fireplace is the centerpiece of the living room and adjacent den; a wonderful original feature. Through its large windows and walls of glass, bright natural light is captured with ease. The primary suite flows out to an expansive terrace, beautiful pool & hot tub. A detached pool house with attached bathroom is a perfect office or guest suite. The home is optimized for entertaining and for a peaceful lifestyle. The grand forecourt provides for an abundance of parking. This classic gem is being offered for sale for the first time in over 50 years and offers its future owner a value-add or redevelopment opportunity, while being livable in its current form. Read More
