Home of the Week: Mt. Olympus tear-down has ‘a lot’ going for it

Share via

What’s the going rate for dirt these days? In the Mount Olympus neighborhood of Los Angeles, try $35 million for a flat hilltop property with sights extending as far as the eye can see.

Currently on the site is a multilevel residence designed by architect Richard Schwarz that evokes a modern fortress with its bold curves, walls of glass and bridge-like upper level. The home is being marketed as a tear-down because of its dramatic views of downtown L.A., mountains and, on a clear day, even the ocean.
