Classic Midcentury Modern Condo in the Heart of Hollywood Sells in a Flash

If you love movies like “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “La La Land,” or are a fan of the L.A. swimming pool paintings of artist David Hockney, you’ll go bananas for this updated unit in the former apartment building known as the Hollywood Riviera.

The small condo in West Hollywood landed on the market for $589,000—and went into pending sale status in less than a month.

You may recognize the midcentury modern building from both big- and small-screen productions, including Steven Soderberg‘s “The Limey,” the Steve Martin film “L.A. Story,” and the Netflix hit “Transparent.” The current owner is celebrity stylist Monica Schweiger, former West Coast fashion editor of Women’s Wear Daily.

The building itself was designed in 1954 by architect Edward Fickett (of whom actor Jamie Dornan is a fan). Fickett is famous for designing Dodger Stadium, Scandia and Spago restaurants, La Jolla Fashion Center, and the Los Angeles Police Academy, among many other private residences and prominent public buildings in Southern California.

This one-bedroom unit on the first floor measures a petite 739 square feet. However, the living space does extend beyond the walls, including a spacious outdoor patio that can easily serve as a second living room. It’s easy to imagine the pool parties this complex has hosted.

If you’re not out partying on the patio or lounging by the pool, you’ll be comfy inside. The unit has hardwood floors, a brand-new bath, and a spacious master bedroom with a walk-in closet.

You’ll even have parking space for two cars in the garage as well as extra storage. Those extra features are extremely rare in this part of town.

The reason this location is so hot is that it’s only a half-block from the Sunset Strip, within swinging distance of some of L.A.’s most iconic hotels and restaurants, including the storied Chateau Marmont.
