Last month the most expensive home sold was 272 Mesa Lila Road Glendale. This mid-century masterpiece was originally listed for $2,189,000 and sold in eleven days for $2,470,000. The sellers were an LLC that purchased this home to flip in December 2020 for $925,000. This classic mid-century is located in Whiting Woods, one of my favorite Glendale neighborhoods.
MLS remarks read for 272 Mesa Lila Road Glendale: The Gordon & Hildred Goetschel House, Ray Kappe FAIA (1954). The architect’s first single-family residence, and the start of a pioneering and influential career that would span nearly 7 decades. At Mesa Lila, you see Kappe’s explorations into a vocabulary that would signify his early works. The emphasis is on spatial expansion, focusing inhabitants toward the surrounding nature and distant views. Horizontal massings of redwood siding and unpainted masonry blocks give privacy to a glass-walled pavilion. Natural light spills in from all directions, animating the space and casting slow-moving shadows throughout the day. The property has just undergone a complete overhaul of systems and restoration of finishes.
