Description
"The Thomas Young House", 1962. Architect William E. Mader, AIA". Commissioned in 1962 by LA-based comedian Thomas Young, this iconic mid-century modern property was designed by William E. Mader, AIA, an alumnus of USC's renowned School of Architecture and future principal architect for the Irvine Company. Located just off iconic Mulholland Drive, the "Thomas Young Residence" is one of 14 distinctive homes that form the Eureka Summit Residential Historic District. Mader positioned the 2,405 SqFt home to fully embrace its panoptic views, stretching from Universal City to Woodland Hills and framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the Valley landscape - including mountains views - into daily life. With minimal street setback, and deliberate absence of traditional front and side yards, the Young residence emphasizes openness, privacy and modernism's embrace of nature and light. Historic marketing materials for Eureka Summit (a subdivision of Wrightwood Estates) pulled no punches: "If you are looking for an ordinary house in an ordinary street with ordinary dark, old-fashioned living... don't come to see." The open main level features the original stone facade fireplace, frosted Mondrian-style windows, and remodeled living and dining spaces finished in beautiful prime oak hardwood floors. The updated kitchen includes Bosch stainless appliances, while a large home office offers flexible use as a potential third bedroom. Downstairs, two bedrooms include a primary bath suite with dual sinks and walk-in shower while the secondary bath has a sunken tub with north-facing Valley views. A rear deck runs the length of the house and includes a dedicated patio space. A side-by-side washer/dryer is located in the main hallway, and an attached two-car garage provides ample storage space. Minutes from the West Hollywood and Studio City business districts, the "Thomas Young Residence " offers quick access to amenities as well as an artful blend of mid-century design and contemporary updates.
