The Thomas Young House, 1962. Architect William E. Mader, AIA. LA-based comedian Thomas Young enrolled the formidable talents of architect William E. Mader, AIA, to design this mid-century property atop the Hollywood Hills. Mader was an an alumnus of USC's renowned School of Architecture, designing notable mid-century properties throughout LA… Read More and Palm Springs before eventually becoming principal architect for the Irvine Company. Located just off of iconic Mulholland Drive, the Thomas Young Residence is one of 14 distinctive mid-century modern properties 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 San Fernando 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 potential use as a 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. The 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 with built-ins 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.
