Gather Round: L.A.’s Famed Domestead House Quickly Finds a Buyer
Realtor.com
Known as the Domestead (read: dome-shaped homestead), this one-of-a-kind dwelling is on the market for $1,725,000.
The dome home found a buyer after less than a month on the market. It is now pending sale.
The one-bedroom, two-bath wonder has been housing artists and creatives since 1982, when it was built by Los Angeles architect William King.
The Domestead has undergone a string of renovations—in 2002, 2010, and 2014. Today, the rad pad offers just as much inspiration as ever, with panoramic city views, a wraparound deck, 15 skylights, and its landmark geodesic bedroom, which is designed in blue and purple hues.
“The home features three distinct levels, all with open floor plans,” says listing agent Molly Kelley, of Nourmand & Associates. “It’s truly a flexible space that’s designed to fit multiple needs. The upper bathroom leads to an outdoor shower and wood soaking tub, facing the garden; and the kitchen is small but mighty, with each detail having been designed to maximize space—including the moveable dining room table, set on a track system.”

Garden? Yes, you heard right. The quarter-acre lot includes a backyard featuring low-water succulents, native plants, fruit trees, and manicured pathways. There’s also a canvas-dome yurt on a wooden platform.
The 1,787-square-foot Domestead sits squarely in the coveted Glassell Park neighborhood, just minutes from the Glassell Park Recreation Center Tennis Courts and Swimming Pool. Popular eateries, such as Lemon Poppy Kitchen and Just What I Kneaded, are nearby.
Naturally, the imaginative space has drawn plenty of attention, locally and beyond.
“The home has been circulated within the artistic community, widely published internationally, and hosted many film and photo shoots,” says Kelley. “It’s a critical part of L.A.’s contemporary art scene.”
