Mid-century Masterpiece: Ray Kappe Restoration
By Joe Wertz
Designed by iconic master architect Ray Kappe, this wood, glass and concrete home near Los Angeles recently hit the market after an extensive renovation. Rescued by Michael LaFetra, a sort-of saint and savior of mid-century modern masterpieces befallen by hard times, the 5-bed/3.5-bath home in Brentwood has been updated with a new kitchen, fixtures and an infinity-edge pool. The $4.5 million home kept all of Kappe’s glass-lined views and outdoor decking, which serves up stellar tree-lined views of the L.A. Valley. [via contemporist]
