The Seidenbaum Residence, a home designed by Richard Dorman, is on the market for $16.5 million. Richard Dorman is a mid-century modern architect celebrated for his work in Southern California, where the Seidenbaum Residence is situated.
The Grand Prix Award-Winning home is currently listed for the first time in 45 years. However, despite its construction in 1965, the home is a trove of modern decorating ideas. Here, we take a tour of the magnificent property.
Located above Sunset Boulevard, the Seidenbaum Residence offers therapeutic respite from the hustle of the City of Angels. The property offers garden boxes for growing vegetables, fruit, and flowers, with extra space for an urban garden or an outdoor living space.
The estate includes 1.27 secluded acres and consists of two combined properties sold as one. Plus, while the exteriors are instantly associable with Richard Dorman, they are also synonymous with architect John Bertram who recently restored the property to its retro glory.
Seidenbaum Residence’s architectural splendor is something to behold; however, its interior design ideas are equally as noteworthy. The light-filled open plan living space epitomizes mid-century modern living through its neutral-toned palette that softens the natural wooden tones that surround the space.
This area flows into the similarly-toned kitchen space that exhibits color through its statement artworks and accessories that sit amid the open shelving. The 6,151-square-foot interior showcases organic wooden floors and beams with high ceilings alongside sliding glass walls that fill the house with SoCal sunshine.
Other significant rooms include a secret den, spacious dining room, gym, and office space that maintain the Scandinavian-style palette. The Seidenbaum Residence also boasts six bedrooms, including a master suite with dual walk-in closets, a private lounge area, and dual spa-like baths.
The master suite also uses clean white paint to frame the greens of the surrounding trees – and has reshaped our modern bedroom ideas in the process. When in doubt, take inspiration from one of the most admired properties in Los Angeles.
