Historic Streamline Moderne masterpiece combined with perfect livability perched on a hill in prime Studio City. Recognized as Historic Monument #918 by the City of Los Angeles for its "extraordinary design" and "master craftsmanship," the Lydecker House is a one-of-a-kind Art Deco residence that captivates from every angle. Designed by Academy Award-nominated special effects artist Howard Lydecker, this architectural gem seamlessly blends striking aesthetics with functional elegance. Property currently receives tax abatement through the Mills Act, providing the homeowner with significant tax savings (buyer to verify). Walls of windows curve gracefully around the home, creating dramatic curb appeal while framing sweeping hillside views from nearly every vantage point, whether inside or from the expansive rear deck. The impressive living room is highlighted by a soaring vaulted cathedral ceiling with exposed wood beams, drawing the eye upward while enhancing the warmth of the space. A floor-to-ceiling fireplace adds to the inviting ambiance, making it the perfect gathering place. The dining room's distinctive U-shaped windows and singular round porthole window are accented by round wood molding, crafting a unique and intimate setting for entertaining. The spacious kitchen continues the U-shaped motif, featuring an inviting breakfast nook framed by classic Art Deco glass bricks, a center island with breakfast bar, and double doors that open to the massive deck an ideal setting for an outdoor living and dining experience. Use your imagination to further enhance and upgrade the kitchen. The main level is designed for both entertaining and privacy. A powder room serves the social areas on one side of the home, while two bedrooms both ensuite offer separation and tranquil privacy. A bright, airy stairwell with a high ceiling and skylight leads to the upper level, where an open loft space, perfect for an office or creative retreat, precedes the home's piece de resistance: the primary suite. This stunning en-suite retreat boasts another magnificent wood-beamed ceiling and breathtaking panoramic views, evoking the feeling of floating above the city. Adding to the home's versatility, a sizable bonus room with a separate entrance sits below the main level ideal for guests, a private office, or creative space, complete with its own bathroom. For those seeking a masterfully designed architectural home that balances timeless style with exceptional living spaces, the Lydecker House is unparalleled.
