About this home

The Schustack Residence | 1957 | Howard Lane, FAIA. A rare masterwork of Southern California modernism, The Schustack Residence stands quietly on a private street low in the Hollywood Hills—an architectural jewel designed in 1957 by Howard Lane, FAIA, a protégé of Mies van der Rohe and former president of the California Council of the FAIA. Lane’s distinguished portfolio includes several landmark commercial and residential estates, most notably The Beverly Hills Financial Center and the former Travelers Insurance Building on Ventura Boulevard. This iconic post-and-beam residence exemplifies timeless mid-century design, artfully blending the scale and presence of a commercial estate with the warmth and intimacy of a private home. Recently and completely refreshed, the property honors its original architectural integrity while integrating modern comforts and refined finishes throughout. The gated, single-level floor plan flows effortlessly to the outdoors, where more than 19,000 square feet of mostly flat grounds create a rare sense of openness, privacy, and tranquility. A spacious den offers flexibility as a family room, workspace, or additional bedroom. The modernized kitchen, oak flooring, updated exterior stucco, refreshed landscaping, upgraded electrical system, and tankless water heater further elevate everyday livability. Outdoors, a glistening kidney-shaped pool anchors the lush setting—ideal for both entertaining and quiet retreat. Surrounded by neighboring estates valued above $30 million, the property offers exceptional privacy while remaining firmly connected to the energy of Los Angeles. The location delivers a rare blend of privacy and proximity. Just moments away are world-renowned destinations including The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, Nobu Los Angeles, La Boheme, Hollywood Palladium, Pantages Theatre, and Dolby Theatre. To own The Schustack Residence is to acquire a meaningful piece of architectural history—offering the privacy, pedigree, and proximity found only low in the Hollywood Hills. A true collector’s property and an extraordinary value.
