Opening Snapshot

There are houses where mid-century modern is a decorating style, and then there is Waynecrest. In 1948, Swedish architect and designer Greta Magnusson Grossman designed this Beverly Hills home for herself, cantilevering portions of it over the hillside on slender supports and orienting the living spaces toward the view. Grossman would become internationally known for furniture and lighting, including her now-iconic Grasshopper lamp, but this was personal: her own experiment in how modern California life should look and feel. Nearly eighty years later, you can actually live in it. The house has been carefully updated, but the architecture still sets the tone: glass, open living spaces, patios, greenery and city lights beyond. For anyone who loves design, that changes the experience. You aren't staying in someone's interpretation of mid-century Los Angeles. You're staying in the real thing.

What we love

The restraint. Los Angeles has no shortage of houses trying very hard to impress you. Waynecrest doesn't need to. Grossman's architecture does the work. The house sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, with large windows pulling the canyon and city into the rooms and outdoor spaces extending the living areas toward the hillside. There is a pool and spa, grassy yard, decks and private outdoor dining, but none of it feels like an amenity checklist grafted onto the house. It feels integrated. We also love that the restoration appears to have respected what was here rather than trying to turn a 1948 architectural house into a 2026 spec mansion. That's important. Great vintage houses lose something when every imperfection and period detail gets polished away. And then there is simply the pleasure of occupying a piece of design history. Grossman was working in Southern California at a time when architects were inventing a new language for California living. Waynecrest lets you experience some of those ideas exactly where they were meant to be experienced.

Keep in mind

This is a historically significant three-bedroom home, not one of the enormous Beverly Hills estates elsewhere in the Joes collection. That's part of why we like it. Guests looking for ten bedrooms, a basketball court, nightclub and three kitchens should keep looking. Waynecrest is about architecture, intimacy and setting. The house also sits in the hills, so this isn't a walk-out-the-door Beverly Hills experience. You'll drive to restaurants, shopping and most daily destinations.

Work Mode

There is enough separation to work comfortably without taking over the house, and the quieter Crest Streets setting helps. Just don't blame us if the view becomes more interesting than the Zoom call.

The brag

Joe B. lens:
I'm an architecture guy, so this one gets me. Greta Grossman didn't just design Waynecrest; she designed it for herself. That's a completely different level of provenance. If you care about California modernism, staying here is almost like getting the keys to a small private museum you're allowed to live in.
Joe R. lens:
I like that nobody tried to make this house something it isn't. Three bedrooms, good bathrooms, comfortable living spaces, a pool and outdoor space. For a couple or smaller group spending a month in LA, the scale actually makes a lot of sense.
Together we agree:
Some houses are memorable because of what they have. Waynecrest is memorable because of what it is.

Getting around

Waynecrest sits in the Crest Streets above Beverly Hills. This is driving territory, but Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip are all reasonably close, giving you privacy at home without isolating you from the Westside.

Joe-Tested,
Joe-Approved

Waynecrest earns its place in the Joes for a reason we don't get to use often: architectural significance. Greta Grossman designed this house for herself in 1948, and nearly eight decades later, her ideas about California living still work. That's pretty special.
