This midcentury post-and-beam’s top bullet points—not to mention Bullitt points—are that it was once owned by 1960s movie star Steve McQueen, and designed by master architects Buff and Hensman. The listing notes, however, that the current owners have “reconfigured and added square feet to create 3-4 bedrooms/4 baths in the main house, with an additional bed/bath in the detached guest house.”

Sited on a promontory near Runyon Canyon, the 3,594-square-foot home delivers spectacular mountain, canyon, and city views on both sides thanks to copious walls of glass. Other features include hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, a koi pond, and a saltwater pool with spa. It’s listed with Kira Gould of Compass at an asking price of $4.395 million.
