9509 Heather Rd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Designed by Charles G. Kanner, AIA, this original 1962 modernist home presents an extraordinary opportunity for either restoration or development on over half an acre on the prestigious eastern cul-de-sac of Heather Road. Evocative in style of Kanner's self-described "modernism out of the internationalist school," which took inspiration from Bauhaus and architects like Neutra and Schindler, this 5290 SF home is larger in scale than customary of his influences. Through the projecting canopy, the two-story entry atrium opens to the family room where the large grassy backyard and pool area, visible through walls of glass, perfectly capture indoor-outdoor modern living. The master suite, dining room and kitchen all open to the backyard as well, while the oversized living room, powder room and maid's quarters complete the first level with soaring ceilings throughout. Upstairs, consisting of 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms and a utility room, provide potential for expansion or reconfiguration.
