An Award-Winning Home in the Hollywood Hills Is Up for Grabs at $4.2M

Deronda Residence, designed by local firm Space International, earned the Los Angeles Architectural Award in 2012 for its "gentle elegance."

While conveniently located in the Hollywood Hills, the tree-dotted lot allows the residence to feel worlds away from the city hustle.

The coveted Deronda Residence is now up for grabs in Los Angeles. Perched on a hill in the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood, the striking contemporary was crafted in 2011 by architect Michael Ferguson, the founder and principal of Los Angles–based firm Space International. The home offers more than 3,000 square feet of interior space, outdoor living areas, and sweeping views out over the city.

The contemporary home sits on a large, street-to-street lot in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Beachwood Canyon. Architect Michael Ferguson of Space International designed the private wing of the dwelling to gently rest on upright, cantilevered bars, creating a covered carport. — The home sits on a large street-to-street lot in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Beachwood Canyon.

Well suited for those who love to entertain, the multilevel home is made up of two main rectangular volumes, which effortlessly merge to encourage indoor/outdoor living. "The public areas of the house are situated on the ridge of the site so as to take advantage of flanking outdoor spaces," explains Ferguson. "They are designed as extensions of the living and dining areas when connected via a series of large, sliding glass openings."

Expansive sliding doors flanking the living spaces create spectacular indoor/outdoor flow.

Outdoor dining areas are located at both the front and back of the house. Additional entertaining areas are peppered around the expansive 8,000-square-foot lot, and include a sparkling saltwater pool. Sliding glass doors usher incredible natural light inside, while framing panoramic canyon views whether open or closed.
