"Known as the Honnold & Rex Research House, the 1954 residence was redesigned and reconfigured by earlier owner and architectural conservator Xorin Balbes. Walls of glass open to a courtyard with a pool and a spa. The two-story living room has a floor-to-ceiling stone wall and fireplace. The 3,700 square feet of living space includes dining and family rooms, four bedrooms and four bathrooms."
"The home was built under the 1950s and '60s Case Study program, which prodded architects to experiment with new materials and design methods."
"Streep, 65, won Academy Awards for her work in 'The Iron Lady' (2011), 'Sophie's Choice' (1982) and 'Kramer vs. Kramer' (1979). The versatile and busy actress is in three movies this year: 'The Homesman,' 'The Giver' and 'Into the Woods.'"
Meryl Streep sold a Hollywood Hills West residence to New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez for $4.8 million. The 1954 home, known as the Honnold & Rex Research House, was redesigned by architectural conservator Xorin Balbes and features 3,700 square feet of living space with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and distinctive architectural elements including glass walls opening to a courtyard with pool and spa. The two-story living room showcases a floor-to-ceiling stone wall and fireplace. Built under the 1950s-'60s Case Study program, the home exemplifies experimental mid-century design. Streep purchased the property for $4.5 million the previous year. The sale was facilitated by real estate agents from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Sotheby's International Realty.
