Property Detail

Description

A rare and transcendent piece of LA history, this restored cabin, Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument #839, was home to Paul Landacre, a celebrated modernist artist whose work was shaped by the surrounding landscape and is held in the collections of LACMA, MoMA, and the Whitney. An artful renovation by Oller & Pejic Architecture honors the home's singular ethos, preserving single-wall construction, hand-built wooden windows, and exposed beams while introducing masterful updates. Custom-milled redwood siding matches the original; wood paneling and floors bring depth and warmth. Incredible light, exquisite views, and original details like petrels carved into the gables infuse the home with quiet elegance. The beautifully rendered kitchen has stone accents and stainless appliances. The bedroom opens to a wraparound deck and the sunny bonus room could function as an office or second bedroom. Scenic decks and patios take in stunning vistas, with a spa for winding down and a detached studio for art or work. Amenities include a long driveway for parking, central AC/heat, and laundry. A distinctive find, reimagined with care, in a serene Elysian Heights setting.
