The Richard Halliburton | Hangover House, designed by architect William Alexander Levy, circa 1937, is a very rare example of early 20th-century modern architecture using concrete and steel. Originally built for Halliburton, an American travel writer and adventurer, the name, Hangover House, comes from its positioning: perched 600-feet above the Pacific Ocean with incredible sweeping views up and down the coast, transitioning to east-facing views overlooking Aliso Canyon. The residence features a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom main floor with a lower-level guest suite, situated on an almost 20,000 sqft. lot. An original spiral staircase leads to the rooftop deck, which offers 360-degree elevated ocean and surrounding views, where a steel-casement window serves as a wind screen for dining, relaxing and entertainment. The entire structure has been restored (concrete and steel were reinforced), and new plumbing and electrical systems are in place. Now the home just awaits the personalized touches of its next steward. The remaining work primarily includes finishing the kitchen and bathrooms (cabinets, fixtures and hardware), in addition to completing the lower guest suite. This unique offering also includes the neighboring lot (approx. 10,000 sqft.), which comes with approved plans (designed by LA architect, Marc Whipple) for a contemporary concrete and glass guest house (1149 sqft.), with an infinity-edge pool between the two residences, all connected by concrete steps. Originally featured in a 1938 edition of Architectural Record, the Hangover House is considered by many architectural historians to be among the early masterpieces of modern residential architecture in Southern California. This is an extremely rare opportunity to own an architectural trophy property with the option to merge the iconic original residence with a side-by-side contemporary example, all overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the heart of South Laguna Beach...
