Los Angeles Modern Stilt Home Featured in "Heat"

Love good vistas? If so, you’d love the Stilt Home in Los Angeles. Famously featured in Robert De Niro’s hit movie, “Heat,” the Stilt Home is exactly what it sounds like–a home built on stilts so it appears as if floating. It was built in the 1950s as part of an engineering program case study at Cal University, which puts it in a class of its own. As if not impressive enough, The Stilt Home is built on a small hilly lot that is typically considered unbuildable. The stunning 2016-sq.ft property is up for sale at a cool $1.6 million and features three bedrooms and three bathrooms on a quarter acre.

Lets Talk Views

While the stilts are impressive, the views deserve special attention. The Stilt House, which features sliding glass doors and windows, sits alone in Dodds Circle at the top of City Terrace (another buying point on its own), providing unobstructed, all-around views of Southeast LA, all the way from downtown to the beach. Occupants will also awaken to spectacular views of the Hollywood Sign.

Living Area

The Stilt House is generally spacious, with rooms that flow into one another seamlessly. The open and airy living area is ideal for entertaining, with white high-beam ceilings, white walls, and tasteful grey couches. The hardwood floors add a classic rustic touch while warmly complementing the primarily white and mid-century elements. It also has a simple, rustic dining area and, as previously stated, multiple sets of sliding glass doors that ensure the house is always washed in natural light regardless of the weather.

Kitchen

The kitchen in the stilt house is a chef’s dream, with top-of-the-line appliances like a wine fridge and plenty of counter space. The kitchen is spacious, with high-beam ceilings, a beautiful hand-fired red tile backsplash, and countertops with white walls.

Bedrooms 

The stilt home features three bedrooms, each with its unique design and features. It has a spacious, luxurious primary bedroom with ample natural light and stunning city views.

The room features a large bed, and modern furniture, while the primary bathroom is another reason to purchase the property. It has beautiful fixtures, a separate shower area, dual vanities, and a large tub.

The other three bedrooms are equally luxurious, each with unique features and designs. The rooms are spacious and bright, with comfortable beds and ample storage space.

Outdoor Space

Love you some outdoors? You’ll love The Stilt House even more. The sliding glass doors lead to a 60-foot wooden deck with incredible city and ocean views, while a 200-square-foot carport studio leads to a well-manicured, lush, putting green on the lower deck.
