The Mitchell Residence, by architects Buff, Straub & Hensman (1959). Offered for only the second time since built- this distinctive and lovingly cared for home remains miraculously in almost entirely original condition. Situated on more than an acre in Rolling Hills Estates, the house embraces a tranquil and incredibly private setting with expansive floor to ceiling glazing. Recent update (as of 1/30/26): two large ficus trees have been removed from a neighbor's yard- this has opened up sweeping views of Mt. Baldy, Mt. San Gorgonio, Downtown Long Beach, the International Gateway bridge, coastline, and ocean. Morning light floods the home, and at nightfall, an array of twinkling lights illuminate expansive views of the city below. Exterior and interiors have been blended together seamlessly, with living spaces and adjacent decks placed amidst the towering pines to bring nature into every room. A split level delineates the open plan dining area, family room, and kitchen from the sunken living room and its monumental fireplace with cantilevered mantle. The details are exceptional: signature post and beam vocabulary, translucent glass screening, original light fixtures, and clever and abundant built-in cabinetry. Mature California native plantings populate the surrounding gardens. An idyllic canyon retreat with panoramic city, mountain, and ocean views, ocean breezes, and a sense of solitude that belies its close proximity to the vibrant beach communities nearby.
