Property Description
4035 Mount Vernon Drive is a piece of Los Angeles and architectural history and truly an invaluable piece of property. This mid-century modern home was designed by FAIA award-winning architect Richard Dorman and was known as the "Home of Imagination" when it made its debut in 1953. This home has only changed hands one time and the integrity and originality of its timeless design is still intact and is now ready for its new owner and 2023 revival as it enters its 70th anniversary. As you enter the property, you are greeted with a well-manicured private courtyard perfect for entertaining or relaxing. This timeless home offers 4 bedrooms/3 bathrooms and 3375 SF on an almost 10,000 SF lot centrally located in Los Angeles in the historical neighborhood of View Park.As you walk through the front door you are greeted with a glass enclosed foyer and original brickette flooring, which are key components in the home's bi-nuclear design and divide the East Wing from the West Wing of the home. The West Wing of the home encompasses the living and entertainment areas of the home that include oversized living and dining spaces that boast a stone floating hearth, floor to ceiling windows overlooking a huge grassy private backyard, large skylights for added natural light and exposed ceiling beams. The conscientious design allows "compass vision" to every part of the house from the kitchen so you can enjoy an open floor plan experience while maintaining the integrity of the rooms. The kitchen is complete with birch cabinets and a dumbwaiter built into the birch cabinet in the breakfast area making it easy to serve the lower floor. The East Wing has three large bedrooms and two baths including an amazing 15x18 foot primary suite with a dressing area and a private garden.A seven-foot cantilevered balcony has been enclosed and overlooks the almost 10,000 SF backyard below and also provides an interior entry to the downstairs one-bedroom studio below, which provides easy access to the large backyard that is nestled below the house providing privacy and plenty of room for a pool if desired! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a Mid Century Modern Marvel!
