Wilshire corridor

Hancock Park's House of Davids for sale

It was built in 1952 and offers seven bedrooms and seven baths on two floors, plus a pool. The listing provides a photo tour of the inside, which Curbed LA says "exists outside the normal boundaries of space, time, and interior decorating. There are fake dogs everywhere, the dining room furniture is invisible and hanging from the ceiling, and there are either oversized chairs in the foyer or the foyer is tiny." The owner, reportedly R&B singer Norwood Young, calls the place Youngwood Court.
