HAL LEVITT, 1960 - BEL AIR WEST 

Unorthodox siting on a street induces views of the city, ocean, vineyards, and Getty. But Hal Levitt has a way of forging orthodoxy into surprise. The vaulted, clerestoried great room collects space from the parlor, kitchen, study, even the master suite. Only the guest suite maintains itself in a private wing. An abstract pergola wraps the pool area and ties it to the house. Two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2-car port, terrazzo floors, viewing deck, cul-de-sac. Summoning renovators.
