Located in the heart of Los Angeles, this restored historic Elysian Heights cabin is a significant piece of history, officially recognized as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #839. This property also has the address: 2006 El Moran St. Once the home of Paul Landacre, a celebrated modernist artist, this unique residence showcases the artistic and natural beauty of its surroundings.

Landacre’s work, inspired by the tranquil landscape around the cabin, gained widespread acclaim and is still honored in esteemed collections at institutions such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and the Whitney Museum of American Art. This historic site not only offers a glimpse into Landacre’s life and artistry but also serves as a testament to the cultural and natural heritage of the region.

Oller & Pejic Architecture has masterfully transformed the home through a renovation that pays homage to its unique essence, artfully intertwining preservation efforts with modern enhancements. The restoration meticulously honors the cabin’s original single-wall construction, showcasing the hand-crafted wooden windows and exposed beams that tell stories of its past. To maintain a sense of continuity with history, custom-milled redwood siding was designed to perfectly replicate the original material, creating a seamless blend between the old and the new.

The home is enveloped in rich wood paneling and beautifully finished floors, adding warmth and depth and fostering a deep, intimate connection with the surrounding natural landscape. This thoughtful design celebrates the cabin’s artisanal roots, inviting the beauty of its craftsmanship to shine through while embracing the comforts of contemporary living. The beautifully designed kitchen blends rustic charm with modern functionality. It features stone accents that add texture and warmth, paired with sleek stainless-steel appliances for contemporary convenience.

The interior is bathed in an incredible interplay of light. It reveals exquisite views and showcases original details that speak to its unique charm, such as the graceful petrels intricately carved into the gables. This seamless integration of design and nature transforms the home into a sanctuary of inspiration and tranquility, where every detail invites reflection and appreciation of the beauty found both inside and out.

The bedroom opens onto a wraparound deck, providing a private retreat with direct access to the surrounding nature setting, allowing residents to step outside and immerse themselves in the tranquil environment. Additionally, the sunny bonus room, filled with natural light, can serve as an office for remote work or can easily be transformed into a comfortable second bedroom.

The home boasts scenic decks and patios that are carefully positioned to showcase breathtaking views and the luxurious spa adds a touch of indulgence. Complementing these outdoor spaces is a versatile detached studio that can be used as a private workspace or creativity art space.

A long, gracefully winding driveway offers ample parking, while central air conditioning and heating plus the laundry area provides comfort and convenience. These thoughtfully designed features create a harmonious blend of functionality and peaceful living, making this property an exceptional place to call home.
