Flax Residence :: William Stephenson Architect, 1956



Home As Art Pick
When Harvey and Judy Flax interviewed William Stephenson in 1955 they immediately knew he was the perfect Architect to design their dream home. Stephenson, who also designed President Reagan’s personal residence and other celebrities, completed the Flax residence in 1956.  

Mr. and Mrs. Flax have raised three lovely daughters and meticulously maintained the architectural integrity of their home for over 57 years. Now, this fabulous Mid-Century home is available for the first time. 

Boosting over 3,186 SF of open living space this 4 bedroom 3 bath home has many of its original design features intact. Walls of glass off the main massive living/dinning room anchored by a fireplace make it the perfect setting for any social event or family gathering. The original kitchen has been diligently maintained with original cabinetry and hardware along with an eat-in breakfast nook that over looks the romantic water pond in the lushly landscaped back yard.

Twelve-foot ceilings, sharp lines, skylights, glass walls and period fixtures only add to the originality of this architectural significant home. The family room on the lower level is the perfect place for everyone to relax and enjoy a Friday night movie, or as Mrs. Flax said, “It was the perfect place for many Girl Scout meetings and slumber parties over the years."

The master bath with his and her sinks also has a walk in closet and safe, all luxuries of the time but essential to today’s standards. There is even a super sized storage room between the house and attached two-car garage. 

Walking distance to all the great shops and restaurants in the Westwood Village make this the quintessential house for those seeking a true Mid Century Modern home.
