Designed by acclaimed architect Hal Levitt, the Holt House is a rare and historically important example of Southern California mid-century modernism, set within one of Beverly Hills’ most private and tightly held enclaves. The residence is widely regarded as a defining work of its era, recognized for both its architectural significance and enduring relevance.Set behind gates and approached by a long, private drive, the home reveals itself gradually, unfolding through a sequence of intentional, gallery-like spaces. The architecture emphasizes proportion, materiality, and light, with terrazzo floors, expansive glass walls, and dramatic ceiling heights creating interiors that feel both refined and expansive. Natural light is treated as a primary design element, animating the spaces throughout the day.Living and entertaining areas are thoughtfully arranged around a central courtyard, reinforcing a strong indoor-outdoor connection and providing a calm, cohesive spatial experience. The surrounding grounds are landscaped with mature plantings, while a rooftop deck offers open views and quiet moments at sunset. An architectural bridge crossing the pool serves as both a functional connector and a sculptural focal point, linking the private wing to the main living spaces.A separate guest residence accommodates visitors in comfort and privacy, while the primary home remains a secluded retreat, framed by established gardens and mature trees.For those who value architectural authorship, historical importance, and timeless modern design, the Holt House presents a rare opportunity to steward a truly significant work of residential architecture.
