Property Description

A rare opportunity presents itself with the 'Rowen House', a 1957 masterwork by acclaimed modernist architect Josef Van der Kar, immortalized through the lens of renowned photographer Julius Shulman and preserved in the Getty Library catalog. This stunning architectural marvel unfolds across 1.2 acres off of a private road in Pacific Palisades' coveted Rivas Canyon neighborhood. The visionary residence exemplifies Mid-Century sophistication through its masterful integration of glass and light. Terrazzo flooring flows throughout the main living areas, while strategically placed skylights illuminate the interiors. A gracious foyer introduces the main living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame picturesque backyard views, complemented by a fireplace that enhances the inviting atmosphere. The thoughtfully designed floor plan positions the kitchen at the heart of daily life, connecting seamlessly to the dining area and a light-filled family room. The interiors extend outward through expansive glass doors to the newly installed pool/spa and pergola-covered entertainment area. The primary suite, with sliding doors leading to a private outdoor patio, includes double closets and a period-specific ensuite bath with a sunken terrazzo tub/shower. Three secondary bedrooms and two additional baths provide ample flexibility for guests, a home office, and more. Recent updates honor Van der Kar's original vision while incorporating contemporary conveniences with restored millwork, a renovated kitchen with new countertops and stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms with designer tile, central air conditioning, a tankless water heater, and an upgraded sprinkler system. The expansive, wooded grounds offer privacy and seclusion, while a carport and driveway provide abundant parking. This architecturally significant property is supremely situated in Pacific Palisades, with quick access to Will Rogers Park, Temescal Canyon trails, and the restaurants and boutiques of nearby Palisades Village. Beyond its physical attributes, this residence represents a pivotal moment in California modernism--a museum-worthy property. For the discerning collector of architectural works, the 'Rowen House' stands ready to begin its next chapter.
