At the Parr Residence, architecture reveals itself inwardly. A shallow reflecting pool and garden courtyard form the heart of the plan, pulling daylight into the house and establishing a dialogue between openness and enclosure. Designed in 1954 by Lucille Raport, a disciple of Richard Neutra, the bungalow carries the hallmarks of West Coast modernism while maintaining a sense of privacy rare in the Hollywood Hills.

Raport organised the 2,839sqft residence around long horizontal lines, generous glazing and a fluid connection to the outdoors. The main house contains three bedrooms and bathrooms, a convertible den and a living room with fireplace that opens directly to outdoor seating and views across the hills. Recent interior renovations and exterior restoration have reinstated original design principles that had been lost, updating services while respecting the home’s history. A detached ADU operates as a fourth bedroom suite, guest house or workspace.

Outside, the pool and surrounding gardens create a sequence of sheltered terraces that extend life into the landscape. The house was photographed by Julius Shulman, cementing its place within the history of Los Angeles modernism. It’s currently listed for $3.495 million.
