In the moviemaking capital of Culver City, California, a stylish 2021-built duplex compound has recently landed on the market.

Priced at $3,400,000, the gated family compound consists of two inviting homes and an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), with a private patio that overlooks a mature Chinese Elm tree — one that’s older than the city itself!

That’s right, the 100+ year-old tree predates Culver City, which was only officially incorporated in 1917 (and named after its founder, Harry Culver).

But beyond having a piece of living history in its backyard, there’s plenty to love about this stylish duplex. Let’s have a look!

Tailor-made for a “live, work and play” lifestyle

Sitting on a 6,753-square-foot lot in the heart of Culver City’s Historic District, the property consists of three different structures and was envisioned for a “live, work and play” lifestyle.

All in all, it offers 2,615 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, and everything was built with the highest standard of quality.

“You don’t see this level of construction applied to a duplex. It’s just really a one-of-a-kind property,” says listing agent Daniel Lowe. “Every detail of this project was well thought out and expensive.” And it shows!

Through walls of sliding glass, the ADU awaits, offering endless possibilities as a communal hang-out space, large creative area, or gym.

“The accordion doors that open the Auxiliary Structure Unit to the front yard really provide that indoor-outdoor Southern California lifestyle that everyone craves,” listing agent Daniel Lowe tells us.

The whole property is controlled by a Control 4 system which runs the multi-zoned HVAC systems, invisible speakers in the ceilings, and security cameras.

The private patio is equipped with a Sun-Brite television and offers ample views of the 100+ year-old Chinese Elm tree that’s likely older than Culver City itself.
