About This Home

As of September 2023

1945 FEDERAL AND 1949 FEDERAL ARE BOTH INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. Inspired architectural live/work compound designed by award winning AIA architect, filmmaker, artist and educator, David Ming-Li Lowe. Here Lowe applied industrial technology with the creation of two separate structures divided by a large outdoor patio for the exclusive use of the back house. This unique property highlights bow truss roofs with exposed beams, and glass garage door wall, opening to living, dining and kitchen area. The rear house also includes 3 bedrooms + 2 baths with its own separate address. The front house has 2 bedrooms + 2 baths with a huge second floor balcony. The front house is ideal for work or rental income while the back house is perfect for an owner/user. These recently reimagined loft spaces include new extensive hardscape and landscaping, new wood floors, remodeled bathrooms, a new walk-in closet and storage spaces. Located in the hip Sawtelle, West LA neighborhood, not far from the Expo line and some of the best sushi in Los Angeles.
