Mid-Century Modern Time Capsule Fixer by Ed Fickett in Pacific Palisades Asking $3.25 Million

Open House: Sunday, April 19, 2015 between 2 PM - 5 PM 13908 West Sunset Blvd, Pacific Palisades

Price: $3,250,000; HOA dues $250/month
Beds, Baths: 4 beds, 3.75 baths
Floor Area: 3,537 sq. ft.
Per the Listing: "Designed by noted architect Edward Fickett, this 4 bedroom, convertible den, 4 bath home with over 3500 sq. ft., offers walls of glass, bringing the beauty of the gardens inside, to be enjoyed by all who live there. It's located on a large corner lot (over 16,000 sq. ft. per the assessor) with tall trees which provide additional privacy. There is a circular driveway at the front of the property and the garage is accessed via the side street. Some additional features include beamed ceilings, clerestory windows, excellent closet space, many fruit trees and a pool. Property is located in the Palisades Riviera. This is an opportunity to remodel a unique home or build a dream home. Property is being sold in its present "as is" condition."

Here's hoping this post and beam by the talented and prolific Fickett finds a sympathetic, restoration-minded buyer—it would be a crying shame if that awesome floating triangular fireplace got turned into rubble. Listed on March 25 for $3.999 million, the .38-acre property's price tag was chopped by $749,000 on April 16.
