Description
Presenting the Van Dekker House, 1940, built by renowned master architect R. M. Schindler and recognized by LA city as Historic-Cultural Monument No. 974. Studying firsthand under Frank Lloyd Wright, Schindler’s prolific work has defined Modern architecture in Southern California. This gated compound is Schindler’s largest known residential project, spanning approx. 4,000 SF under roof & situated on a half acre of sprawling manicured grounds. Steeped in Hollywood history, the Van Dekker House was commissioned for actor Albert Van Dekker, sold to screenwriter Al “Buzz,” & frequented by the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, & William Faulkner. The property has been meticulously restored with the intent of reinvigorating Schindler’s iconic design elements while also introducing contemporary amenities. Interiors are highlighted by soaring wood beamed angled ceilings with glass panels & clerestory windows that invite natural light to create a cacophony of reflections. An oversized great room has majestic mountain/Valley views, stone & copper statement fireplace & direct access to the exteriors. Updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, Bosch appliances, & access to the formal dining room. Additional living spaces include billiard/games room with wine cellar, den/office, & sitting room. All four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms & built-in closets. Top floor primary suite overlooks panoramic Valley views with private gym & remodeled bathroom with dual sinks & walk-in shower. Throughout the residence you’ll find Schindler’s signature built-in custom furniture, natural stone & wood materials, & several outdoor patio decks that provide incredible indoor/outdoor flow. The expansive grounds allow for grand scale entertaining featuring salt water pool with swim jets, waterfall spa, wood deck with fire pit, mature landscaping with turf lawn, & sweeping driveway that leads to parking for 8 cars. A 256 SF detached office has second kitchen & laundry. All major systems have been upgraded including the rehabilitation of Schindler’s striking asymmetrical, copper-paneled roof. Solar panels & greywater/rainwater catchment systems have been added. The home also comes with a Mills Act contract for a significant tax incentive. Buyer to verify. Adjacent to terrific dining/shopping, Westfield Topanga Mall/Village, Warner Center/Rams Development, parks/hiking trails, & easy access to the beach/freeways. Rare opportunity to own a piece of art in this Schindler legacy estate.
