Known as the Brander House, this mid-century modern classic was designed by Chinese-American architect Eugene Kinn Choy, who also designed the Cathay Bank building in Los Angeles’s Chinatown.
It was subsequently immortalized by preeminentarchitectural photographer Julius Shulman and featured in The Los Angeles Times Home Magazine.
"It’s an incredible opportunity for someone who appreciates a true mid-century house," said co-listing agent Donovan Healey, estates director at Hilton & Hyland Beverly Hills.
"It’s from an era that will forever be cool," Mr. Healey said. "Essentially, this is a Palm Springs house in the heart of the Hollywood Hills."
Plus, he said: "The demand for these iconic L.A. properties is definitely growing."
The largely flat 1.25-acre lot offers striking views of downtown.

Nestled in a hidden enclave, this gated house offers a wealth of distinctive mid-century architectural elements. Foremost among them is the imposing sandstone and travertine marble fireplace that occupies almost an entire wall in the living room.
Other design features include floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, interior beams and posts, the dining room’s floating built-in buffet, and sliding glass doors that open to the pool.
"The kitchen has original cabinetry, a classic midcentury backsplash, marble countertops and a huge island," Mr. Healey said. "It’s quite large, a chef’s kitchen."
