2520 Outpost Drive : : C.E. Toberman, Architect

Home As Art pick :: 2520 Outpost Drive, Los Angeles

C.E. Toberman’s classic architectural design abounds in the stunning example of Hollywood’s Spanish Revival movement. This 3,505 square-foot four-bedroom three-bathroom residence has been recently updated and showcases a dynamic combination of original styling created by the “Master of the Outpost Spanish” mixed with materials and features he could only dream of in 1934. Wrought-iron gates, sconces, and railings grace the thickly plastered chalk-white walls of home. The step-down formal living room features original mahogany wide-plank pegged wood floors (just refinished). The 12.5’ vaulted living room ceilings are supported by large, exposed beams. Floor-to-ceiling arched, recessed alcoves line the walls. An over-sized gas fireplace adds great warmth to the room—literally and figuratively.

Home As Art pick :: 2324 Boone Avenue, Venice

Magnificent, serene architectural compound just steps from Abbot Kinney. Towering bamboo hedges keep the oversized lot and rooms with walls of glass incredibly private and peaceful. The 3-level residence has a spacious, open floor plan with wonderful light. With an overhaul by an internationally known interior designer, the house has terrific finishes and an elegant feel. Huge master suite with light-drenched bath. Marvelous open chef's kitchen. Soaring living spaces with walls of sliding glass doors. The large guest bedroom could easily be converted into two, for a 4th bedroom. And there is a splendid detached guest suite/office/media room above the large garage with rolling steel door. The many decks, grassy yards and outdoor sitting areas make it perfect for entertaining. An attractive bikeway leads directly to the French Market cafe, and all that Abbot Kinney has to offer. Unmatched.
