Midcentury-Modern Gem in Benedict Canyon Listed for Just Under $5 Million
Southern California, particularly Palm Springs, is known for its high concentration of midcentury-modern homes. Despite recent demolitions of notable midcentury homes in Los Angeles, one meticulously restored residence tucked up into Benedict Canyon still stands.
Listed for just under $5 million, the Hutton Drive home was built in 1956 and underwent necessary structural renovations and modern updates 20 years ago by Griffin Enright Architects. The seller, Malgosia Migdal of L.A.-based Malgosia Migdal Design, has reimagined the home with European-inspired design elements and vintage fixtures and furnishings.
Migdal emphasized the importance of respecting the original integrity of the property while enhancing special features for generations to come. The home features stunning views, cactus gardens, and original architectural elements like award-winning ceilings and stainless countertops.
The 2,817-square-foot home boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms spread over one level. The open-plan great room is showered with natural light from a row of skylights, while the kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances and modern updates. The primary bedroom has high, wood-beamed ceilings and sliding glass doors that open to the backyard.
Outside, a charming pool and spa surrounded by natural wood decking, a covered alfresco dining area, and new drought-resistant landscaping create a private oasis. Listing agent Emma Hernan of Oppenheim Group describes the property as a significant jewel of midcentury architecture with original character intact.
Located in Benedict Canyon above Beverly Hills, the home offers proximity to upscale shopping and dining options along Rodeo Drive. For more photos of 2538 Hutton Drive, click here.
