15845 Lassen Street

Description

This thoughtfully restored 1956 post and beam home was originally designed by Palmer & Krisel, AIA and remains an excellent example of the architects' work. The private, walled pool property is positioned on the border of Granada Hills and North Hills. The home was a collaboration between Palmer & Krisel, AIA, and the builders Marlborough Homes. The architects and builders collaborated on a 31 home modernist subdivision just blocks away called Marlborough Palms between 1956 and 1957. This San Fernando Valley collaboration occurred while Palmer & Krisel, AIA began their work with the Alexander Construction Company in Palm Springs, including Twin Palms, the Sandpiper Condominiums, Ocotillo Lodge, and the Racquet Club Road Estates. The architects' collaboration with local builders like Marlborough Homes and the Alexander Construction Company helped make modern design accessible in Southern California.15845 Lassen has many of the original design features that made these homes unique - exposed beams, open plan, easy indoor-outdoor flow, broad overhangs, large windows, and clerestories that celebrate the low gable roof. This three bedroom, two bath home includes a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. A detached garage at the back of the property makes for easy off-street parking and offers the potential for an ADU conversion. Solar panels make for energy efficiency and savings. Between the Palmer & Krisel, AIA architecture and the walled pool garden, this property brings the spirit of Palm Springs right here to our great city of Los Angeles.
