Welcome to the thread,
DViator, I hope you find those pictures.
-----------------
I thought this was going to be another hard-to-find Beverly Hills house from Julius Shulman when I saw the title. It's
"Job 3042: William Beckett, Heston House (Beverly Hills, Calif.), 1960".
Here's the other image in the set.

I bet there were more shots in the set, because it shows the home of Charlton Heston. It came onto the market for the first time in 2015. Here are some recent images from Variety (there are more at the link below). I'll start with a wider view of the entrance.
This looks like a sunburst design on the carpet.
A beautiful view blocked by a thousand books!
Finally, the pool. There's also a tennis court (see the Google Maps view below).

A 2016 Variety article says that the house sold for $12.2m to French film director-producer Luc Besson. Let's hope he's happy with it, and doesn't raze it to build some ugly monstrosity. The house, which can be found at 2859 Coldwater Canyon Drive, still looks OK on the current aerial view. I've included the whole driveway.
