Bermuda Woods 1955 Palmer & Krisel For Sale – Reseda, CA

Built in 1955 by Dunas, Greene & Swidler in the neighborhood of Bermuda Woods in Reseda, CA is this Palmer & Krisel-designed relatively new to the market. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,296 square feet and a detached rear-yard garage on a 7,700 square-foot lot, this home carries an asking price of $459,000.

Front of home

Interestingly, this is the same floorplan that popped up last week in Southeast Granada Hills, with the living and dining rooms at the rear of the home, the kitchen sited along the south side of the home, and the four bedrooms grouped on the north side of the home.

Out front, the home sits framed by two pollarded trees which is a highly questionable practice of pruning. The garage sits in the backyard behind the home, and is served by a long, linear asphalt driveway. The remainder of the front yard is turf, essentially creating the perfect blank canvass for a water-conserving makeover.

Dining room 

The living and dining rooms overlook the backyard and an added sunporch through Krisel’s signature walls of glass. The stacked block modernist fireplace has recently been drywalled over and stone veneer and a traditional mantle has been added. Hopefully the original block is still underneath and can eventually be restored. The open beamed ceilings are still intact, and wood laminate floors line the home.
