First time offering since built, "The Teasley Residence," architect Vincent J. Proby, AIA. The original property, a 1957 mid-century modern, was enjoyed by Mr. Larkin Teasley and his family until fire destroyed their home in July, 1985. Determined to rebuild anew for his wife and daughters, Mr. Teasley enlisted the formidable talents of Leimert Park-based architect Vincent J. Proby, AIA, designing this beautiful two-story home situated atop Baldwin Hills Estates, with widescreen views of the LA basin. A graduate of the storied USC School of Architecture and the first person of color on California's State Board of Architectural Examiners, Mr. Proby served as project manager for Welton Becket's Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena as well as designing the iconic California African American Museum in Exposition Park and the A C Bilbrew Library in Willowbrook, amongst others. Featuring 3 beds, 3 baths, and almost 3,300 SqFt of living space, "The Teasley Residence" displays an emphasis on natural flow and light throughout. The beautiful formal living room is complimented by a warm and sun-filled family room that features a seated bar area and mid-century style cut-stone fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling sliders open directly onto the spacious patio, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle and unobstructed sight lines to the full-sized and original 1957 swimming pool.Mr. Proby deftly positioned both the home office and primary bedroom on the north side of the second story, taking advantage of the panoramic views unique to Baldwin Hills, including vistas of Century City, the Hollywood Hills and DTLA skyline.
