The Druckman Residence is a modernist home originally constructed in 1941. Tucked away in the Outpost Estates just off of Mulholland Drive, this multi-level property is an architectural spectacle. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, this home sits on a semi-vertical lot and includes 1,662 square feet of living space. 2764 Outpost Drive, Los Angeles, is listed for $3,295,000 by Lilian Pfaff at Modern California House and William Baker at The Agency.
Rudolph Schindler is credited as the architect of The Druckman Residence. However, there is a family rumor that the home was designed by Richard Neutra. The previous owners have taken special care in preserving the home’s original integrity and history. Even the brand-new renovations echo the home’s modernist roots.
The bright, open concept is on display from the entryway. The split-level floor plan separates the living space from three of the bedrooms for extra privacy. The living room includes lofted ceilings with exposed beams that showcase the atypical post-and-beam structure of the roofline. Light floods in from almost every angle due to the trapezoidal clerestory windows.
Natural hardwood floors anchor the organic design of the home. The built-in plywood elements visually separate the entrance and dining area while still keeping a light, airy space. The wall of windows is angled south, inviting the sunlight to flood the space for morning until evening.
The kitchen has been redone with a poetic pastel theme. Terrazzo tile floors contrast the light green marble countertops. There is visual texture throughout every inch of the space. The centerpiece of the kitchen is the built-in breakfast nook. With classic mid-century lines and a view of the verdant hills, it is a sunny spot for dining and gathering.
Echoing the candy-coated color scheme of the kitchen, two brand-new bathrooms add to the pastel atmosphere. Both bathrooms are monochromatic, with one in pink and the other in blue. From the handmade tile to the retro-inspired pendant lights, they are a blend of past and present.
The bedrooms are just as bright as the rest of the home, with complete privacy thanks to the green surroundings. There is an additional den that separates two of the guest bedrooms, which can be converted into a variety of flex spaces. The geometric structure is still prominent throughout the lower level of the home.
The outdoor spaces are plentiful on this hillside lot. Accessible from the kitchen, the service balcony that provides direct access to the garden. Outside of the lower level, there is a serene patio and deck space for dining or simply relaxing amidst the tranquil setting.
At the very bottom of the lot, there is a surprise resurfaced swimming pool. The oval shape pays homage to the original era, and the stone surround is the perfect space to kick back on the wooden lounge chairs. The landscape has been revitalized with drought-tolerant, native California plants. Privacy is at its peak with the brand-new gate and security system. As a whole, this is a legacy property with countless amenities and insurmountable charm.
