The Druckman Residence, circa 1941, by legendary architect Rudolph Schindler. Designed to integrate seamlessly with its surroundings, Schindler executed a residence that captures and communicates with nature. At the base of the garden sits a modernist swimming pool; an oasis in the middle of the city, more like a lake perfect in size and proportions. A previous listing of the property notes that the pool was designed by the great Richard Neutra. This aligns with Neutra’s concept of giving occupants a visual and sensory connection to both water and to nature. Set back from the street behind a gate and a beautifully landscaped entryway, the house unfolds. Clerestory windows choreograph natural light throughout the day amid a palette of white plaster and original plywood surfaces. The main living area features a beamed ceiling, built-in cabinetry, and balcony, with large, south-facing windows that open to a grove of mature trees. Anchoring the room is Schindler’s masterful fireplace, which continues to the exterior and an outdoor hearth, effectively creating twin living rooms, one interior and one al fresco on the property’s large flat yard. The home offers quintessential modern Southern Californian indoor-outdoor flow, yet was decades ahead of its time. The kitchen frames treetop views from its original built-in table and breakfast nook, now complemented by refreshed surfaces and updated appliances. A second balcony opens from the kitchen to maximize light, air and access to nature. An upstairs den completes this level, with verdant views and geometrical ceilings that echo Schindler’s sculptural vision. The primary bedroom features large windows with canyon views, an expansive closet, and a newly updated primary bathroom. The three additional guest rooms each featuring canyon views, additional built-in, and bookcases along with backyard access. The Druckman Residence is both highly livable and historically significant, blending architectural integrity with privacy and convenience atop Outpost Estates, just moments from Hollywood, the famous Hollywood Bowl, and all that Los Angeles has to offer.
