Home of the Week: A stylish nest for Robert Byrd lovers
This Studio City home with a guesthouse displays many of the details associated with architect Robert Byrd, who focused on indoor-outdoor living while combining such eclectic styles as California Ranch, Midcentury Modern and Farmhouse. Wood-beamed ceilings, the use of brick and ample patio and deck space were among his trademarks. A signature birdhouse adorns the garage.
