The Schustack Residence | 1957 | by Howard Lane, FAIA Nestled on a private street low in the Hollywood Hills, The Schustack Residence stands as a masterwork of modernist architecture. Designed in 1957 by Howard Lane, FAIA—a protégé of Mies van der Rohe and the visionary behind several of Los Angeles’ most significant commercial buildings—this rare post-and-beam home embodies the essence of timeless mid-century design. Recently and completely refreshed, the home seamlessly blends its original architectural character with modern comfort and style. The gated, single-level floor plan opens effortlessly to the outdoors, where over 19,000 sq. ft. of mostly flat grounds provide privacy, space, and tranquility. A spacious den offers flexibility as a family room, workspace, or additional bedroom, while the modernized kitchen, oak flooring, updated exterior stucco, landscaping, upgraded electrical, and tankless water heater enhance the home’s refined livability. A glistening, kidney-shaped pool anchors the lush outdoor setting—perfect for entertaining or quiet retreat. Situated on a peaceful dead-end street among neighboring estates valued above $30 million, The Schustack Residence represents a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, generous land, and a coveted Hollywood Hills location—making it a true collector’s property and an extraordinary value.
