Property Description
The Maurice Seiderman House 1955. With head-on jetliner views, this Hollywood Hills home has a storied architectural and Hollywood provenance. In 1955, Maurice Seiderman, the legendary Hollywood makeup artist Orson Welles called "the greatest make-up man in the world," responsible for Citizen Kane, A Touch of Evil, and Jane Eyre, among other films, commissioned architect Clyde Grimes to design him a home on a rare large, flat promontory in the Hollywood Hills with unobstructed views sweeping from downtown to the ocean. Grimes was born in Los Angeles in 1924, was a member of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen during the Second World War, then earned his architectural degree at U.C. Berkeley and, upon graduation, apprenticed under the legendary Paul Williams before opening his own practice. He capped off his career by being appointed by Governor Jerry Brown as the Official State Architect of the State of California. Grimes' modernist tour de force on Deronda Drive remained virtually untouched and original until a thorough and sensitive restoration by celebrated design firm Commune/Pam Shamshiri and architect Barbara Bestor, with landscaping by Elysian Landscapes. The result is a visual triumph, seamlessly blending modern conveniences into the renewed soul of a true mid-century. Privacy
