Sale Price: $5.1 million<\/p>\n

A two-year, $2.5 million gut renovation brought this rare,1960s modernist house in the Valley Oak neighborhood of Los Angeles into the present.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe neighborhood is special and so is the home\u2019s location in the neighborhood because it\u2019s on the top of the hill,\u201d said Alex Barad of Nourmand & Associates, who found a buyer for the home within weeks of listing it in the fall. \u201cYou look down on everything and get 270-degree views of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seller added 1,000 square feet to the house, which was designed by architect Tim Campbell, remodeled the bathrooms and kitchen and knocked down walls so he could install large view-framing windows and sliding doors that link interior spaces to the outdoors.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the details, the little things that you don\u2019t expect, that define the house, Barad said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the primary suite, if you push the mirror, it reveals a window and the views,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd in the media room\/den, the sliding glass doors disappear, and you feel like you\u2019re in the pool\u2014it gets me every time.\u201d<\/p>\n
