In the early 80's, a well known Silverlake/Echo Park realtor, Stephen Scott, came across an empty lot with a tarp over an old VW minivan. Steve purchased the land and hired Jose M. Cedeo, AIA, who was famous for designing high-vaulted ceiling architectural homes throughout the area. Between 1983-84, Steve worked with Cedeo at 1458 Sutherland and built his dream house using only choice materials.Situated on half an acre, 1458 Sutherland has soaring wood ceilings, open original kitchen, beautiful Spanish tile floors and glass doors opening to the private, expansive deck with views to the Santa Susana mountains. Two artistic fireplaces, brick work and fine wood detailing are some of the well-maintained finishing touches. Additionally, the main home boasts a well thought layout, tucking the sleeping areas quietly away from the main living/entertaining space.As the owner, he loved cacti and desert landscape, varied cacti were brought in along with proper soil. Evidence of his cacti gardens can be seen throughout the grounds. When Steve chose to relocate to Palm Springs, the current (second) owners fell in love with the natural elegant design along with its privacy. The new owners, one a renowned anthropology professor at USC, enjoyed many elysian years here with the proximity of Music Center, Dodgers Stadium (with views of fireworks), dog walks in Elysian Park, and many USC parties including receptions for Jane Goodall. In addition to the main structure, the property has two income cottages, each 2 bedroom, with addresses, private access and parking on Scott Ave.. Rock pathways wind from Sutherland down to the cottages at the street below. A row of six garages on Scott Ave. has a fourth address attached to it which could have potential for additional income unit/ADUs.
