Architect John Bertram worked with designer Sarah Shetter on the renovation, bringing in Douglas fir furniture, terrazzo floors, new fixtures and vibrant redwood accents both inside and out.
The single-story home offers a handful of classic Midcentury details from the landscaped courtyard entry to the sky-lit hallways that navigate the 4,600-square-foot floor plan. Throughout, walls of glass take in views of the half-acre grounds, complete with mature trees, manicured gardens and a swimming pool. The house has five bedrooms, including a primary suite with a freestanding fireplace, and five bathrooms, plus an office, step-down living room, family room with walls of bookshelves and a slender, sky-lit kitchen with a breakfast booth.
A Showstopping Midcentury Home Seeks a New Buyer in Beverly Hills
Nestled in the celebrity enclave of Hidden Valley Estates, the 1961 Rowan Residence lists for $10M after a painstaking restoration.

Built in 1961, the Robert Skinner–designed Rowan Residence is perched on a .42-acre lot in the star-studded Hidden Valley Estates, a Beverly Hills gated community with just 33 homes.
Skinner designed the home to blend with nature. Upon arrival, a courtyard entry planned around a central tree places emphasis on the landscaped vegetation.
