LA Phil Conductor Gustavo Dudamel Relists 1920’s Los Feliz Spanish Revival for $3.1M

Published: January 12, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

L.A. Philharmonic’s Gustavo Dudamel has relisted this Los Feliz home. Currently priced at $3.095 million—about $200K under the asking price of $3.3 million set when the home was initially listed about ten months ago—the stucco Spanish Revival with Craftsman-influenced interior is a charming 1920’s construction.

At 3,600 square feet, including three bedrooms and a master suite, it is a very manageable house. Restored to its historical beauty, with largely original hardwood restored to an antique luster, the interior exudes warmth. As the recessed entrance opens to the foyer, three sets of French pocket doors and a staircase in polished oak, and narrow-plank walnut floors set the tone of the house; the same narrow-plank walnut is used throughout the home like a leitmotif.

Bathrooms are generally period, with grey-on-white herringbone tile in the master bath, with a dual glass-enclosed shower a concession to modern convenience.  Original slab marble, and windows overlooking the property, gives the master a meditative appeal.

The kitchen is also notable; the counter backsplash reprises the herringbone of the master bathroom. The soft angles gently offset the harder angles of the rest of the main floor.

The exterior of the property features a lap-pool snugly fit into the back yard. A patio and lounge area provide a relaxing retreat.

Mr. Dudamel purchased the property in 2015 for $2.775 million.

Violinist Gustavo Dudamel was born in Venezuela in 1981; by the early 2000’s he was a highly respected conductor—a very young age for such a reputation. Aside from his position as the Music and Artistic Director for The Los Angeles Philharmonic, he is the Musical Director for The Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, and an advocate of the musical arts as a culturally relativizing and transformational force.
