Step back in time inside this ‘unicorn’ estate for sale in California. Take a peek

A home that’s a pinnacle of sophistication and timelessness has landed on the real estate market in Los Angeles for $1.899 million.

Designed by midcentury architect Earl Rubenstein in 1965, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence looks like it was built specifically for the AMC drama “Mad Men” and stands out thanks to its Hollywood elegance.

The outside is stunning, but the interior also is impressive.

“This home is incredibly special because so few mid-century homes remain with intact exterior details like this one, and even fewer with 180 degree views of Los Angeles,” Compass listing agent Samira Tapia said in a news release.

“The original architect Earl Rubinstein recently paid the home a visit, exactly 60 years after he designed it. He very much admired the renovation, and even had to ask if the new wrought iron entryway screen was originally there, because it so well fit the era of the home,” she said.

Features across the 1,990-square-foot property include:

  • Chef’s kitchen

  • Dining patio

  • Primary bedroom retreat

  • New roof

  • Upgraded sewer

  • Car charging outlet

  • Detached garage

  • Separate driveway

“The main living area features almost 10 foot ceilings with floor to ceiling windows showcasing sweeping 180 degree views of the Hollywood Hills and downtown Los Angeles,” the listing says. “This home is a unicorn, featuring the unheard-of combination of a flat backyard plus incredible views.”
