2764 Outpost Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90068

Designed in 1941 by modernist master R.M. Schindler, the Druckman Residence is a rare example of his late-period work in the Hollywood Hills. Conceived for Dr.... Jacob S. Druckman and his wife, artist Margaret Druckman, the home features Schindler's distinctly asymmetrical gabled roof--concealing the house from the street while maximizing canyon views and light through dramatic clerestory windows. The residence balances openness with intimacy through Schindler's clever, split-level floor plan that separates the expansive public rooms from the private bedroom wing, creating both intimacy and privacy. The main living room is anchored by a dual indoor-outdoor fireplace, extending the interior seamlessly onto the front patio and reinforcing the home's early commitment to indoor-outdoor living. The adjacent kitchen preserves Schindler's original built-in breakfast nook, paired with updated appliances and surfaces in the spirit of the original design. A den beside the living area offers a quieter retreat with treetop views and sculptural ceiling lines. Down the split-level corridor, four bedrooms maintain a more intimate scale, adding to the home's overall efficiency. The value focus of the mid century movement is more relevant and important today with increased cost of living and ever increasing utility costs. Each is positioned to maximize natural light and connection to the outdoors. The primary suite includes canyon views, generous closet, and a recently updated en-suite bath, while the additional guest rooms also feature original built-ins and backyard access. Outside, newly terraced landscaping leads to a private oval pool--attributed to Richard Neutra. 2764 Outpost Drive is a rare architectural offering, combining architectural significance with everyday livability, one with a deep connection to light and landscape. Fully furnished. Read More
