Craig Ellwood + James Tyler Kuderna House, 1956

The Kuderna House, designed in 1956 by Craig Ellwood and James Tyler, is a significant example of Los Angeles midcentury modernism and Ellwood’s evolving use of exposed structure, glass, and disciplined planning.

Set within a private gated enclave in the Hollywood Hills, the residence is lifted above its hillside site, with expansive walls of glass framing views across the city and surrounding terrain. The architecture is defined by its structural clarity and restrained material palette, including hand-poured terrazzo floors, walnut wall surfaces, and carefully resolved interior details.

Thoughtfully restored, the house preserves the character of the original design while accommodating contemporary living. A linear lap pool extends the geometry of the house into the landscape, reinforcing the relationship between architecture, site, and view.

The main residence includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a separate one-bedroom guest house with one bathroom and kitchenette. The property is offered together with the adjacent parcel at 3076 N. Beckman Road, providing additional land, privacy, and openness around the historic residence.
