Architecture, location and a slice of Hollywood history! This impeccably maintained Mid-Century Modern treasure is one of TVs most familiar exteriors, a stand-in for the fictional Miami locale of The Golden Girls. The TV interior was just a set; the inside of the real Brentwood residence was private and is being revealed for the first time in 65 years. Inspired by the beauty of Mid-Century Japanese/Hawaiian architecture, award-winning Hawaiian architects Johnson and Perkins were commissioned to design this 4-bedroom dream home, custom built in 1955. Floor to ceiling glass, clerestory windows and ultra-high beamed ceilings create expansive volume and visual transparency perfectly connecting indoors and out. Natural colors and textures create a tranquil atmosphere and sliding shoji screens and built-in cabinetry subtly define space. Pristine original oak floors and the original turquoise, avocado and yellow kitchen are among the beautifully preserved period details. Trust sale.
