About this home
The Maurice Seiderman House 1955. With head-on jetliner views, this Hollywood Hills home has a storied architectural and Hollywood provenance. In 1955, Maurice Seiderman, the legendary Hollywood makeup artist Orson Welles called "the greatest make-up man in the world," responsible for Citizen Kane, A Touch of Evil, and Jane Eyre, among other films, commissioned architect Clyde Grimes to design him a home on a rare large, flat promontory in the Hollywood Hills with unobstructed views sweeping from downtown to the ocean. Grimes was born in Los Angeles in 1924, was a member of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen during the Second World War, then earned his architectural degree at U.C. Berkeley and, upon graduation, apprenticed under the legendary Paul Williams before opening his own practice. He capped off his career by being appointed by Governor Jerry Brown as the Official State Architect of the State of California. Grimes' modernist tour de force on Deronda Drive remained virtually untouched and original until a thorough and sensitive restoration by celebrated design firm Commune/Pam Shamshiri and architect Barbara Bestor, with landscaping by Elysian Landscapes. The result is a visual triumph, seamlessly blending modern conveniences into the renewed soul of a true mid-century. Privacy is paramount with this property. The entry is gated, and the home is shielded from the street by an unassuming facade wall, while the views look out over hillsides and the city to the ocean, and not at other homes and roofs at eye level. Once inside the gate, a courtyard entry opens into the home to soaring ceilings and vast rooms flowing to the covered patios, a large flat and lushly landscaped yard, the stunning saltwater pool, and the city-to-ocean views beyond. The sumptuous primary suite also opens to the views and features its own private patio, luxurious boutique-like dressing room, and elegant marble bath. Two other en-suite bedrooms complement this home. There is also a large media room, a fireplace in the living room, a dining room open to the views, and a covered outdoor dining room with kitchen, BBQ, and refrigerator. Other features include full Crestron and Nest automation and security systems, an infrared sauna, a secure one-car garage plus a separate two-car garage, and additional driveway parking. The home is infused with light from the floor-to-ceiling Fleetwood doors and countless skylights throughout.

This home is a rare opportunity to live in a modernist work of structural art on a private and flat parcel in the Hollywood Hills while being close to all the fine restaurants, shops, and attractions the city offers....
