Property Description

The Veneklasen House, originally completed in 1951, is a rare architectural offering in Mandeville Canyon. Designed by architect Kenneth Lind with significant influence from Modernist master Pierre Koenig, the home represents an important piece of Los Angeles design history. Koenig's impact is most evident in the dramatic living room, where an accordion-fold glass wall and sculptural brickwork create a seamless connection between architecture and landscape.The privately-gated residence spans approximately 3,904 square feet and includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and one powder room on a generous lot of approximately 28,314 square feet. A thoughtfully designed second-level addition introduced a light-filled primary suite positioned to take full advantage of the canyon setting, offering an elevated and private retreat immersed in nature.A classic post-and-beam structure with expansive glass walls defines the home's open yet intentional layout. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow effortlessly to landscaped gardens by Mark Tessier, courtyard areas, and canyon views. The V-shaped layout of the estate centers around a remarkable, sculptural mature eucalyptus tree supported by manicured, low-lying native plantings, reinforcing seclusion, artful balance, and a deep sense of place. Interiors are refined yet comfortable, featuring a cohesive palette of dark walnut, stone, layered textiles, and playful touches of celadon quartzite. Open, light-filled spaces are thoughtfully divided into distinct zones, each with its own atmosphere. Nearly all furnishings are vintage, lending warmth, authenticity, and a collected aesthetic that complements the architecture without distraction.Private, immersive, and architecturally significant, receiving the 2022 AIA LA Award for Historic Preservation, this is a rare Mandeville Canyon offering that balances pedigree, comfort, and legacy.
