Property Description
Casa El Sueno Kirtland Cutter (1929). Alternately known as the D.P. Condit House, this residence stands as one of Los Cerritos’ most notable estate properties. Prominently situated on a lot of more than half an acre, it presents an imposing profile of unadorned white stucco accented by low-pitched, red-tiled gable rooflines. Though Cutter’s design evoked the romance of Mediterranean and Mexican architecture, his vocabulary here was celebrated as distinctively Californian- drawing inspiration from diverse traditions and adapting them to modern life. Throughout, the emphasis on quality of interior space and the relationship of the home to its site is evident. A grand reception courtyard and garden leads to a richly patterned wood front door. Inside, a deeply recessed and open beamed foyer overlooks an elegant living area that extends outward to allow natural light to flood the space from three sides. This space features a magnificent cathedral ceiling with sculptural wooden tie-beams and original wide plank oak flooring. French doors open to a covered patio and outdoor dining area. Here and elsewhere in the home, the architect sought a direct connection to the outdoors, making the many private gardens, yards, and patios ever present. The home’s activity hub is its expansive kitchen with a central islandan open-plan space shared with the adjacent built-in dining area and family room. Glass accordion doors connect this communal area with a south-facing garden and patio, making it not only an ideal kitchen workspace but also a central place to gather and entertain.
