About 12276 Circula Panorama
Set on a single-loaded cul-de-sac in one of the most coveted Panorama Heights enclaves, this exceptional mid-century modern residence offers what hillside properties rarely do: breathtaking unobstructed views, effortless access, and a remarkably usable outdoor setting. Spanning 2,320 square feet on an expansive 12,400 square-foot lot, the home is thoughtfully designed for seamless indoor–outdoor living. From the main living room, a large sliding glass door opens to dramatic elevated city and ocean views, where twinkling city lights, nightly fireworks, and sweeping horizons become part of everyday life. A beautifully positioned dry bar adjacent to the living area enhances the mid-century modern aesthetic, creating an ideal setting for entertaining while taking in the view. With no telephone lines, poles, or homes across the street, the sightlines remain wide open and completely uninterrupted. Unlike many hillside homes, this property offers level entry from the garage directly into the main living area—no stairs, no steep driveway, no compromises. The flowing main level connects the family room, kitchen, and living spaces, all oriented toward the view and outdoor entertaining areas. Every bedroom is conveniently located on one level upstairs, and nearly every room enjoys its own city-light view, creating a consistently magical experience throughout the home. The outdoor spaces are a true standout. The primary yard adjacent to the home is flat, fully usable, and wraps around the residence, offering easy access from both the driveway and street—an exceptional feature for view properties. Behind the home, a natural rock hillside provides privacy and a tranquil backdrop, creating an ideal shaded entertaining area during warm summer afternoons. Across the private street, an additional landscaped hillside portion of the lot enhances privacy and preserves open sightlines, helping protect the views. Architecturally distinctive and fully finished with nothing left to do, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a mid-century modern home that balances design, comfort, and practicality—offering the best of hillside living without the typical challenges. Centrally located in Orange County (about 40 miles south of Los Angeles), just 30 minutes to Newport Beach and 20 minutes to Orange County Airport. #HollywoodhillsofOC
