Real Estate August 1, 2025

Mid-century modern homes are more than a trend—they're a testament to timeless design, architectural innovation, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Nestled in the heart of Rolling Hills Estates, this rare and reimagined one-level mid-century ranch-style home has been featured in Dwell Magazine for good reason.

Now offered at $2,999,000, 34 Shady Vista Road is an extraordinary opportunity to own an architecturally significant home that has been thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle—without compromising its original charm.

Friel, AIA, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is a masterclass in mid-century design: clean lines, open spaces, walls of glass, and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac on a 30,116 SF lot, the home is elevated by curated modern enhancements—earning it a coveted feature in Dwell as one of LA's most inspired design-forward homes on the market.

Recent renovations include:

  • A fully remodeled kitchen with Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, and high-end designer finishes

  • Custom floor-to-ceiling glass sliders that frame breathtaking canyon and city light views

  • New hardwood flooring, designer lighting, and thoughtful detailing throughout

  • A stunning backyard oasis with a brand-new pool and spa, Baja shelf, outdoor shower, and curated landscaping—perfect for entertaining or peaceful solitud

The location combines quiet suburban charm with proximity to the best of the South Bay—including top-rated schools, equestrian trails, and nearby coastal access.
