Earl in 1963 as his personal residence. "This property combines a stunning location with an early masterpiece by an architect who would go on to design some of the most iconic celebrity residences in Los Angeles (for Warren Beatty, Madonna, Tom Selleck, Garry Shandling, Nancy Sinatra and Sylvester Stallone, just to name a few)," says Aaron Kirman of Aaroe Estates, who is listing the property for $4.440 million. "The result is incomparable." Situated at 1394 Casiano Road in Bel-Air, the four-bedroom, three-bath home retains much of Earl's original features and details—including his fluent, clean- lined vision aimed here at giving the surrounding vistas center stage—with its current owners recently collaborating with the architect on a sensitive update of the property. The only major alteration was the removal of two walls to further open up the view. Inside the iconic abode's eye-catching front door, one finds 2,781 square feet of one-level living space. Among the highlights are walls of floor-to-ceiling windows that filter abundant natural light throughout the public rooms, all of which are clad in the original terrazzo tile flooring; a master suite featuring a massive walk-in closet and sunken terrazzo tub; a fully modernized, minimalistic kitchen offering top- grade appliances, upgraded cabinetry and a large eating area; and sliding glass doors opening to a large outdoor living area complete with a pool, a deck and 180-degree views from the hillside and city to the coast and beyond. Completely secluded from the road, the home is reached via a winding driveway that ends at a large motor court and three-car covered parking.
