West Covina, CA 91791

Designed in 1958 by celebrated mid-century architect George Vernon Russell, whose work includes the Hollywood Reporter building on Sunset Boulevard and the master plan for UC Riverside, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath, approx. 2,116 sq ft single-level modern residence is perched on a gentle rise in West Covina's coveted South Hills, on an exceptional 20,200 sq ft lot. A freshly painted exterior, flat-roofed profile, cantilevered two-car carport, and open-beam trellis over an exposed-aggregate walk announce the architecture before you reach the door. Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and exposed post-and-beam construction soar over the living and dining rooms, divided by a see-through brick fireplace that anchors both spaces while keeping them open to each other. Floor-to-ceiling glass and clerestory windows frame the backyard and fill the rooms with light throughout the day. A lighted art niche adds a gallery touch. Refreshed with new white oak-look luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh interior paint, the home's main living spaces have been updated with restraint, letting the original design lead. The new kitchen pairs flat-panel cabinetry in a matching white oak finish with white counters, a gas cooktop set into the peninsula, double wall ovens, and a separate eat-in area with sliding doors to the patio. The primary suite offers its own sliding door to the backyard, plus an en-suite bath with dual vanity and walk-in shower. The bedrooms and baths await the next owner's personal touch, a chance to carry the home's modernist spirit into every room. Outside, a flat, enclosed wrap-around yard offers remarkable privacy beneath mature oak, camphor, and other trees. With the trees and the land already in place, the grounds are a blank canvas ready for a pool, a garden, an entertaining space, or an ADU (verify with City). Enclosed storage behind the carport. Within the South Hills High School attendance area (verify with City). A rare opportunity to own a documented work by one of Southern California's accomplished mid-century architects, on land that is increasingly hard to find.
