Designed in 1958 by celebrated mid-century architect George Vernon Russell, whose work includes the Hollywood Reporter building on Sunset Boulevard and the master plan for UC Riverside, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath, approx. 2,116 sq ft single-level modern residence is perched on a gentle rise in West Covina's coveted South Hills, on an exceptional 20,200 sq ft lot.
