Built in 1937, a home designed by the legendary architect Wallace Neff in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles is now available for $4 million.
The charming residence, known as the Beilenson House, was built for Laurence W. Beilenson, a founding member of major Hollywood trade unions including the Screen Actors Guild.
Flipping nice design
Over the past couple of decades, the elegant home was purchased two separate times by “Flipping Out” star Jeff Lewis.
The celebrity home designer first bought the walled estate in 2004, and then proceeded to flip it to new owners in 2006. After the buyers lost the home in foreclosure, Lewis swooped in and bought the place again in 2011. After yet another round of renovations, Lewis sold the updated home—again—in 2015.
The most recent owner purchased the property in 2017 for $3.3 million.
“Wallace Neff houses are definitely collector items,” says the listing agent, Rachelle Rosten of Douglas Elliman.
Of course, having a celebrity home makeover also adds cachet.
“This is a major designer renovation. It’s really tricked out,” Rosten adds.
Rooms with a view
Set on a promontory, the home, on a third-acre, opens out to city vistas.
