Silver Lake Home by Legendary Mid-Century Architect – 3056 Landa St

The Austrian Spencer House was built in 1937 by a young Raphael Soriano. The architect would later go on to help define the mid-century modern style. He was invited by Arts & Architecture magazine to participate in the Case Study Houses program, Soriano completed his project in 1950. Pioneering in its use of steel in residential construction, the design marks a turning point for the program, later culminating in his colleague Pierre Koenig’ s Case Study House #21 and #22. The Austrian Spencer House is just one of twelve surviving houses built by Soriano.

2056 Landa Street is simply a livable work of art designed by one of the mid-century masters who is often overlooked in favor of his peers.

The two bedroom home has an open floor plan and opens to the outdoor entertaining spaces making for seamless indoor/outdoor Southern California living.

A bright and warm dining room has walls of windows with sweeping views.

The beautiful kitchen has been updated and is immaculate in design and function.

Both bathrooms are stylish and unique, with wood accents that recall the lush nature just outside.

The master suite is truly a sight to see. Spacious with its own sitting area, gorgeous hardwood floors, and wonderful views of the hills and downtown from its own private deck.

The backyard is private and lushly landscaped.

The home feels like a private oasis in the heart of the city, close to the Silver Lake reservoir, restaurants, and shops yet removed and serene netled on a quiet cul-de-sac.

The terraced garden and spa is the ultimate outdoor hangout space with ample seating for a large group. 3056 Landa Street presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history by one of Los Angeles’s very best architects in one of the best neighborhoods in the city.
