266 S Highland Ave 3BR Hancock Park La

A distinctive mid-century modern residence in the heart of Hancock Park, 266 S Highland offers 3,228 square feet of single-level living on a 10,585 lot, with the privacy, scale and indoor-outdoor connection that define the best of Southern California modernism. Built in 1950 and arranged entirely on one level, the home is organized around a private central courtyard, with expansive walls of glass and multiple sliding doors dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. The result is a home that feels both intimate and remarkably open, filled with natural light while remaining private from the street. Generous living and entertaining spaces flow easily from one to the next, including a dramatic living area, dining spaces and a dedicated bar, all oriented toward the courtyard and garden. The kitchen is equipped with Thermador and Bosch appliances, double ovens, double sinks and double dishwashers, making it equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite is privately positioned, with a generous bath and walk-in closet, while the two additional bedrooms each have en-suite baths. The converted garage adds a versatile bonus space that works equally well as a studio, office, gym or playroom. Throughout the property, the design captures the essential elements of Los Angeles mid-century living: a low-slung profile, open plan, walls of glass, privacy, generous proportions and a constant visual connection to the outdoors. In a neighborhood celebrated largely for its traditional architecture, 266 S Highland offers something altogether differenta distinctive mid-century modern home with exceptional scale, character and an unmistakably Southern California point of view, all within the highly sought-after Third Street Elementary area.
