2449 N Commonwealth Ave Los Angeles CA MLS #23-300431

This striking Modern mini-compound, reminiscent of architect Irving Gill, in a prime north-of-the-Boulevard location displays crisp, flat-roofed rectangular modules punctuated with steel sash windows and ascends street-to-street from Commonwealth Avenue to west Dundee Drive. Landscaped thoughtfully with both native and drought-resistant plantings throughout, this property offers hillcrest and canyon views, as well as privacy. The front walled garden rises to an expansive entry porch. Inside, the vestibule opens to a light filled living room with fireplace and high, coved ceiling. To one side, lies a commensurately-sized formal dining room and airy, eat-in kitchen. Three bedrooms and baths, plus utility room, all with high ceilings, and a workshop with half bath beyond, round out the lower level. A rear, interior stairway rises to a separate living area that, taken together, might be an ideal guest house, studio or even eligible as an ADU. This custom, re-designed wing has its own bedroom, bath, kitchenette and light-filled great room studio with high, pitched ceiling and fireplace adjacent to private garden areas with potential for a pool. Auto access from Commonwealth Avenue is via a long, electrically-gated driveway to a detached, 2-car garage and motor court. Former residence of Maurice De Mond, 1920s founder of the celebrity-studded Los Angeles Breakfast Club. Addition by noted architect, A.F. Leicht. Here, sun-splashed architecture and historical provenance meet!
