The Hofkin Residence, c.1964, a Mid-Century Modern pool estate by architect Jules Salkin, AIA. Fully gated and discreet from the street, this architecturally significant home was recently featured in Architectural Digest and is the crown jewel of the neighborhood, distinguished by its exceptional provenance and careful preservation.

Fully gated and discreet from the street, this architecturally significant home was recently featured in Architectural Digest and is the crown jewel of the neighborhood, distinguished by its exceptional provenance and careful preservation. A friend and frequent collaborator of John Lautner, Salkin incorporated Wrightian principles into the expansive 3,450 sq ft single-story layout, emphasizing horizontality, natural materials, and a seamless connection to the outdoors. The current owner, who acquired the property from its only previous steward, has made thoughtful, design-forward updates that honor the home's integrity while enhancing its modern California Ranch-style livability. Original Mid-Century craftsmanship remains beautifully intact: teak kitchen, custom cabinetry and 1960s built-ins, wood paneling, walls of glass, beamed cathedral ceilings, and the primary suite's distinctive colorful bath tile created from bona fide remnants of Charles Kratka's mosaic tunnels at LAX. A dramatic sunken great room anchors the residence, its sculptural stone fireplace serving as a commanding focal point and its sleek integrated bar effortlessly suited for both intimate evenings and grand-scale entertaining. Four bedrooms, five baths, and a dedicated office are set on a lush 16,400 sq ft lot with multiple outdoor entertaining areas and a glistening dive in ready pool. This rare architectural treasure in sought-after Northeast Downey is a one-of-a-kind, trailblazing masterwork that secures Salkin's place in the legendary lineage of Southern California Modernism.
