The Kuderna House, 1956, by Craig Ellwood and James Tyler. Set within a private, gated enclave in the Hollywood Hills, this significant example of California midcentury modernism has been thoughtfully restored while preserving the clarity and materiality of its original design. The residence appears to float above the hillside, with expansive walls of glass framing panoramic views across the city, surrounding hills and Los Angeles landmarks. Hand-poured terrazzo floors, warm walnut walls and carefully considered details define the interiors, while a sleek lap pool extends the architecture into the landscape. The main residence features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a separate guest house with one bedroom, one bathroom and a kitchenette. Offered together with the adjacent parcel at 3076 N. Beckman Road, this rare offering pairs the Kuderna House with additional land that enhances its privacy, openness and distinctive hillside setting. An important work of Los Angeles modernism in one of the Hollywood Hills' most compelling locations.
