Outpost Estates

Serene yet close enough to Runyon Canyon and Hollywood Blvd.

Welcome to Outpost Estates

Once the home of actress Dolores del Rio (and its own version of the Hollywood Sign), Outpost Estates is a celeb enclave just a stone’s throw away from the Hollywood Bowl. Serene yet close enough to Runyon Canyon and Hollywood Blvd. to keep it interesting.

From its inspiring viewpoint, 2519 Carman Crest Drive keeps watch over Runyon Canyon, believed to have been a camp spot for the Gabrielino-Tongva, who have resided in the Los Angeles area for thousands of years. After California became a U.S. territory following the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

A perfect example of mid-century post and beam construction, the visually stunning home is also built to last. Post and beam construction relies on heavy timbers rather than dimensional lumber. This means fewer support beams are needed thus creating dramatically open interior spaces and the ability to have walls essentially made of glass.

With its airy open floor plan, high ceilings, walls of glass, and the whole of Los Angeles in its backyard, 2511 Carman Crest Drive has a flair for the dramatic. Of course it does—that’s its legacy.

Outpost Estates was established as one of Hollywood’s first luxurious residential neighborhoods. Now an affluent area rising upwards from the Hollywood foothills, the oldest buildings on the land actually date as far back as 1853, when Don Tomas Urquidez built Hollywood’s first adobe in the middle of a sycamore grove near what is now Outpost Drive and Hillside Avenue.

This striking mid-century home sits tucked away in the prestigious and highly desirable Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Outpost Estates. This well-known neighborhood is a celebrity enclave located near the famous Hollywood Bowl.Built in 1949, the Architectural style of Jack E. Cofer is demonstrated through the sleek, clean lines, and great energy.

This Spanish Revival at 2400 Outpost Drive features 3 beds & 3 baths in 1,925 sq. ft. and a string of creative former residents who have lived the Hollywood dream here.
