Built in 1961 (65 years old).
Condition: Built in 1961, this mid-century modern home is architecturally significant and well-maintained, but interior finishes show varying ages. The kitchen appears to have been updated approximately 15-25 years ago with functional but not current-style appliances and finishes. The primary bathroom is significantly dated, featuring carpeted floors and older fixtures, suggesting a renovation 30+ years ago or original elements. While a secondary bathroom is more updated (10-20 years ago), the property requires minor to substantial updates to meet contemporary standards, particularly in the primary bathroom and potentially core systems, as indicated by the age of the property's systems.

About this home
Set on a premier promontory above the city, 1515 Blue Jay Way commands sweeping, unobstructed views from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. A classic mid-century glass house, the residence is defined by expansive walls of glass, exceptional privacy, and a powerful connection to light, landscape, and sky. A large, gated motor court and gated loggia entry lead to loft-like living spaces filled with natural light and oriented entirely toward the view. The architecture is authentic and intact, with clean lines, generous volumes, and a distinctly mid-century sensibility that feels both timeless and personal. The home offers four bedrooms and three and one-half baths, including a generous primary suite with large closets. Outdoors, a private pool and pool deck hover above the city, creating a tranquil, elevated setting for indoor-outdoor living. Architectural, private, and view-driven, 1515 Blue Jay Way stands apart for its position, privacy, and outlook - an enduring presence on one of the most iconic streets in the Hollywood Hills.
