:: The Haft Residence A Masterpiece of Timeless Design :: Originally crafted in 1935 and thoughtfully expanded in 1954 by the legendary architect John Lautner. 2521 W 5th St. is a one of a kind, intentional fusion of romantic 30s hacienda and poignant 50s mid century architecture that has been passionately upgraded and restored over a 25 year period by the current owner. Two iconic phases of the development of Los Angeles, blended into one unparalleled property. Set behind a private gate and embraced by a verdant, serene courtyard, the home's original 1935 core exudes warmth and character. A rustic living room retains its original wooden floors, stained beamed ceilings, Malibu window tiles, built-ins and character rich plaster walls. Natural light beams through original metal windows that showcase mountain views and thriving, drought tolerant landscaping. Between two large and bright bedrooms is a classic and colorful turquoise and yellow 1935 deco bathroom, that remains beautifully intact. The living space progresses into an eating area that has additional original built-ins and exterior deck access, inviting indoor-outdoor living. Beyond a decorative scalloped archway is a stylish and large kitchen. The past shines along with the present, showcasing classic artisan deco tile work. Wide plank rustic floors marry the memorable with the modern with accompanying upgraded soapstone counter tops and Blue Star 6 burner gas stove and range. A long laundry space with a timeless quarter bathroom also leads to a large deck that has broad views with versatile uses such as entertaining, peace and tranquility, evening dinners and morning coffee. Down a staircase and at the beginning of the rear exterior is an unexpected wall of glass, the introduction into a lower bonus space, originally designed by John Lautner to be a den. Lautner's sleek style during his early work is on display. Sharp, dramatic angles overlook dark ruby Saltillo tiles. Very smartly designed by Lautner, the space also conveniently has separate storage space, additional bathroom and kitchenette and is versatile for multiple uses. The beautifully landscaped, tiered yard has separate spaces to entertain or relax by a cozy fire. Many upgrades including central HVAC, gas line replacement, upgraded electrical panel, drainage improvements , sound proofing between both upper and lower structures and more. Centrally located to Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz and DTLA. An incredible rarity and display of the architectural past brought into the future.
