Property Description

2171 West 26th Place, in the Historic Preservation Overlay Zone located of the Jefferson Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, was built in 1942 and designed by Ralph A. Vaughn at almost the half-way mark in the architect's long and remarkable life after moving from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles in 1937 to work full-time for the great Paul R. Williams as a chief craftsman for the Langston Terrace Dwellings. During that time, Vaughn helped design the Saks Fifth Avenue store and the MCA Inc. headquarters in Beverly Hills. He also helped design the private residences of actors Bert Lahr, Tyrone Power and Bill Robinson. 2171 W. 26th Place residence has had only two owners since 1942 and there appears to be no significant physical changes in to the home. This property is a Mid- Century Modern Beauty which boost 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. In 1951 Vaughn converted the existing two car garage into an enclosed patio and extended the living room to make the home more of an entertainer's show piece. The residence, for the late 40's, had sophisticated, up-scale features of a very modern home. Its interior looking to the north and west has a wall of glass windows which leads outside to an open patio in the backyard. The backyard is a multi-teared sanctuary full of mature trees and lush foliage. In the living room the fireplace is dual sided and of special interest because Vaughn shows an attention to detail by combining a traditional mid-century modern cement and brick fireplace on one side and on the other side a futuristic modern fireplace. The house has beautiful wooden coffered ceilings in the extra large living and dining area with accent lighting around the perimeter of the ceilings. The home is still very original and would be a great buy for someone who can appreciate the design and the architecture.
